4.0 out of 5 stars
Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women of Other Worlds: Excurions Through Science Fiction and Feminism (Paperback)
WisCon and Tiptree.
A book that takes a look at women writing and involved with feminist science fiction. It is although an anthology of feminist science fiction stories. If you aren't interested at all in the Tiptree award and how it was established, or likewise with WisCon and convention stuff like that, you will probably want to be interested in the stories to get it. However, there is a range of non-fiction writing here from the anecdotal and amusing to the very dry academic, including a long reminiscence by Judith Merril, and a letter exchange between an Australian academic and Lois McMaster Bujold about her books. It is basically completely focused on the USA, barring a little about some early UK female fans, despite being edited by Australians, so if you are looking for a 'more inclusive' look at the subject, you will likely be disapointed with that aspect. The cover is pretty cool, if you think Eternity in Marvel comics, but in a bodysuit, not a cape and a long haired woman you will get the idea. The stories here are reasonable - a 3.36 average, but the obviously are not the whole point of the exercise. Certainly a book that is worth a look for those with more than a casual interest in SF, and obviously worth it for those with an interest in feminist SF.
