Playing with gender roles in fiction

Over at Book View Cafe, I put up a post about the history of gender roles in myth, the then-equivalent of blogs, letters, and of course fiction. It's older than we think!

This is something that is especially rich in fantasy these days. (Also sf). So I thought it might be of interest to some fellow r/fantasy readers.
