Description
"In the 1970s, feminist authors created a new mode of science fiction in defiance of the ٢baboon patriarchy٣-Ursula K. Le Guin's words-that had long dominated the genre, imagining futures that are still visionary. In this sequel to her groundbreaking 2018 anthology The Future is Female! 25 Classic Science Fiction Stories by Women from Pulp Pioneers to Ursula K. Le Guin, SF-expert Lisa Yaszek opens a time portal to the decade when women changed science fiction forever with stories that made female community, agency, and sexuality central to the American future. These twenty-three wild, witty, and wonderful classics dramatize the liberating energies of the 1970s: separatist female utopias by Joanna Russ and Sonya Dorman Hess furiously upend the sexual politics of their day; near-future dystopias from Lisa Tuttle and C. J. Cherryh imagine world-destroying alliances of science and patriarchy; nuanced space operas by Kathleen Sky and Joan D. Vinge give center stage to women and alien-gendered characters; and chilling tales by Eleanor Arnason and James Tiptree, Jr., confront the gendered assumptions of worlds both real and imagined. Other writers celebrate the diversity of women with mind-expanding stories about future females at every stage of life: from Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's self-reliant mutant girl heroine to Le Guin's septuagenarian revolutionary leader; from Connie Willis's teen who stops the universe with her first period to Kathleen Sky's menopausal alien seeking sainthood; and from Cynthia Felice's working scientist-mother to Miriam Allen deFord's tentacle-sex-loving politician."--Provided by publisher.
