Feminist Science Fiction

I've written two columns about feminism and science fiction. The first examined books (and a movie) by those considered to be genre writers, and the second, called Mainstream Invaders, looked at writers from the so-called mainstream who have dabbled in science fiction.

• Feminist Science Fiction from Challenging Destiny Number 7
  • Tank Girl
  • Herland
  • The Left Hand of Darkness
  • The Female Man
  • The Gate to Women's Country
  
  
• Mainstream Invaders from Challenging Destiny Number 8
  • The Handmaid's Tale
  • The Handmaid's Tale - movie adaptation
  • Shikasta
  • Woman on the Edge of Time
  • Empire of the Senseless

The excellent book by Sarah Lefanu entitled In the Chinks of the World Machine: Feminism and Science Fiction has a bibliography that would be handy for anyone following up on an interest in feminist science fiction.
