Women, Science and Fiction Revisited is an analysis of selected science fiction novels and short stories written by women over the past hundred years from the point of view of their engagement with how science writes the world.
Women, Science and Fiction Revisited is an analysis of selected science fiction novels and short stories written by women over the past hundred years from the point of view of their engagement with how science writes the world. Beginning with Charlotte Perkins Gilman''s Herland (1918) and ending with N K Jemisin''s The City We Became (2020), Debra Benita Shaw explores the re-imagination of gender and race that characterises women''s literary crafting of new worlds. Along the way, she introduces new readings of classics like Ursula Le Guin''s The Left Hand of Darkness and Margaret Atwood''s The Handmaid''s Tale, examining the original novels in the context of their adaptation to new media formats in the twenty-first century. What this reveals is a consistent preoccupation with how scientific ideas can be employed to challenge existing social structures and argue for change.
