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 clichés 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. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cLibrary of America |d2018|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 650 0 Science fiction, American. 650 0 Science fiction, American|xWomen authors. 650 0 Short stories, American. 650 7 FICTION / Anthologies (multiple authors)|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION / Science Fiction / Collections & Anthologies. |2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Women Authors.|2bisacsh 650 7 Science fiction, American.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01108635 650 7 Science fiction, American|xWomen authors.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01108644 650 7 Short stories, American.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01117064 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Nonfiction. 655 7 Science fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726489 655 7 Short stories.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 Science fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Science fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Short stories.|2lcgft 655 7 eBook. 700 1 Yaszek, Lisa,|d1969-|eeditor.|eauthor. 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 830 0 A Library of America special publication. 856 40 |zAccess this title to use with your computer or mobile device using OverDrive.|uhttp://link.overdrive.com/ ?websiteID=316&titleID=3912825 856 40 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttps:// samples.overdrive.com/?crid=a818408a-a7bb-43d8-a6fa- a9b0252e30d1&.epub-sample.overdrive.com
