Description
One of science fiction's great appeals has always been that it both reflects the age in which it was written and forecasts the future. For many years, its women characters appeared only in the traditional roles of damsels in distress, wives and mothers, or occasionally tempters. Today women writers are producing some of the best science fiction with women protagonists. In this new collection of stories, seven women writers use the literary form of the novelette to explore feminist themes in science fiction.
Jirel Meets Magic/Jirel of Joiry (1935) novelette by C.L. Moore
The Lake of the Gone Forever (1949) novelette by Leigh Brackett
