Galactic Suburbia: Recovering Women's Science Fiction

Více o knize

Focusing on a unique literary tradition, this cultural history reveals the emergence of women's science fiction after 1945, set in a realm known as galactic suburbia. Nearly 300 women writers explored the transformative impact of science and technology on women's lives, challenging midcentury cultural norms. Through case studies of both prominent and lesser-known authors, the book argues that this genre not only anticipated feminist themes but also redefined the relationship between gender, science, and society, countering traditional narratives of science fiction's development.
