Summary:
"Bending and stretching its conventions to imagine new, more feminist futures and new ways of experiencing gender, visionary
women
writers have been from the beginning an essential if often overlooked force in American
science
fiction
. Two hundred years after Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, SF-expert Lisa Yaszek presents the best of this
female
tradition, from the
pioneers
of the
Pulp
Era to the radical innovators of the 1960s New Wave, in a landmark anthology that upends the common notion that SF was conceived by and for men. Here are
25
mind-blowing SF classics that still shock and inspire: Judith Merril and Wilmar H. Shiras's startling near-future
stories
of the children of the new atomic age; Carol Emshwiller and Sonya Dorman's haunting explorations of alien otherness; dystopian fables of consumerism and overpopulation by Elizabeth Mann Borgese and Alice Glaser; evocations of cosmic horror from Margaret St. Clair and Andrew North (Andre Norton); and much more. Other writers here take on some of SF's sexist cliches and boldly rethink sex and gender from the ground up. C. L. Moore and Leslie Perri introduce courageous, unforgettable "sheroes"; Alice Eleanor Jones sounds a housewife's note of protest against the conformities of life in a postapocalyptic suburb; Leslie F. Stone envisions an interplanetary battle of the sexes, in which the matriarchs of Venus ward off unprovoked attacks by barbaric spacemen from Earth; John Jay Wells and Marion Zimmer Bradley wonder how
future
military men will feel about their pregnancies. The
Future
Is
Female
! is a star-spanning, soul-stirring, multidimensional voyage of literary-feminist exploration and recovery that will permanently alter your perceptions of American SF."--Publisher's website.
