Beskrivning

This book argues that feminist science fiction shares the same concerns as feminist epistemology—challenges to the sex of the knower, the valuation of the abstract over the concrete, the dismissal of the physical, the focus on rationality and reason, the devaluation of embodied knowledge, and the containment of (some) bodies.

Recensioner i media

“Ritch Calvin’s Feminist Science Fiction is a clear, solidly argued, and original approach to the genre. … The book’s very consistent and clear structure is one of its strengths … . Calvin’s is a fresh reading of a familiar novel.” (Brian Attebery, Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 44, 2017)
