Sisters of the revolution : a feminist speculative fiction anthology

VanderMeer, Ann, (editor.). VanderMeer, Jeff, (editor.).

Summary: "Sisters of the Revolution gathers a highly curated selection of feminist speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more) chosen by one of the most respected editorial teams in speculative literature today, the award-winning Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Including stories from the 1960s to the present day, the collection seeks to expand the conversation about feminism while engaging the reader in a wealth of imaginative ideas. From the literary heft of Angela Carter to the searing power of Octavia Butler, Sisters of the Revolution gathers daring examples of speculative fiction's engagement with feminism. Dark, satirical stories such as Eileen Gunn's "Stable Strategies for Middle Management" and the disturbing horror of James Tiptree, Jr.'s "The Screwfly Solution" reveal the charged intensity at work in the field. Featuring varied voices of feminism, including rising stars such as Nnedi Okorafor, Rachel Swirsky, and Cat Valente, as well as international contributions from Angélica Gorodischer and many more, Sisters of the Revolution seeks to expand the ideas of both contemporary fiction and feminism to new fronts. Moving from the fantastic to the futuristic, the subtle to the surreal, these stories will provoke thoughts and emotions about feminism like no other book available today."--Page 4 of cover.
