Two short scifi stories about women who inspire their students. In the short story “The Last Great Repair Tech of the American Midwest” by Ellis Nye, “That’s how all the Wendy stories I heard went; she figured out what you needed long before you did.” In the novelette “The Anarchivist” by Owen Leddy (published this year), “None of the search results indicated such an event had ever happened. So what had Professor Mervis been talking about?” Content note: the latter story includes sympathetic characters using generative AI.
