About this book
Feminist thought has proved to be one of the most productive ways of approaching science fiction, resulting in a host of truly excellent books such as Decoding Gender in Science Fiction by Brian Attebery and Frankenstein's Daughters by Jane Donawerth. But this is an excellent place to start because it is such a lively and readable book.
Larbalestier traces the way women have been presented in science fiction from the 1920s right up to the 1990s, covering everything from magazine covers to fanzine articles as well as the stories themselves. Who knew sex had played such a prominent part in science fiction, even when it thought it was being sexless.
It's witty and acute and well researched and tells an absolutely fascinating story.
