This collection features entertaining stories by pioneering feminist writers who reshaped American science fiction in the 1970s. Defying the “baboon patriarchy,” these authors envisioned futures that remain groundbreaking today. In this sequel to a previous anthology, SF expert Lisa Yaszek transports readers back to a decade when visionary rebels centered female community, agency, and sexuality in their narratives. The anthology includes twenty-three remarkable stories that capture the liberating spirit of the era, featuring works like Sonya Dorman's “Bitching It,” Joanna Russ's NEBULA-winning “When It Changed,” and Ursula K. Le Guin's award-winning “The Day Before the Revolution.” Other notable contributions include stories by Vonda N. McIntyre, James Tiptree, Jr., and Pamela Sargent, among others. The settings range from post-apocalyptic California and dystopian convents to extraterrestrial human colonies, showcasing the diverse landscapes of imagination that these authors explored. This collection not only celebrates the creativity of its contributors but also highlights the significant impact they had on the genre, making it a vital read for fans of science fiction and feminist literature alike.
