Future Is Female Volume 2, The 1970S: More Classic Science Fiction Stories By Women: A Library of America Special Publication - Hardcover
Synopsis
Imagine it, if you can bear to look back: long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the writing of science fiction (so the story goes) was an affair dominated by men, or what Ursula K. Le Guin once described as a 'baboon patriarchy' - its female characters figments of adolescent fantasy, awaiting rescue in bronze brassieres, to be mansplained to about rocketry and ray guns. Now cut to the 1970s - the coming-of-age decade from which the 20 stories gathered here emerged - when it all changed. Following on The Future Is Female!, which traced the prehistory for women's science fiction from the 1920s to the 1960s, The Future Is Female! Vol. 2 presents the astonishingly brave and compelling stories of the women who remade the genre in the 1970s, including: Octavia E. Butler, 'Childfinder' (1970); Sonya Dorman, 'Bitching It' (1971); Kate Wilhelm, 'The Funeral' (1972); Joanna Russ, 'When It Changed' (1972) NEBULA AWARD; Miriam Allen deFord, 'A Way Out'(1973); Vonda N. McIntyre, 'Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand' (1973) NEBULA; James Tiptree, Jr., 'The Girl Who Was Plugged In' (1973) HUGO AWARD; Kathleen Sky, 'Lament of the Keeku Bird' (1973); Ursula K. Le Guin, 'The Day Before the Revolution' (1974) NEBULA & LOCUS AWARD; Phyllis Eisenstein, 'Attachment' (1974); Eleanor Arnason, 'The Warlords of Saturn's Moons' (1974); Kathleen M. Sidney, 'The Anthropologist' (1975); Marta Randall, 'A Scarab in the City of Time' (1975) ; Elinor Busby, 'A Time to Kill' (1977); Raccoona Sheldon, 'The Screwfly Solution' (1977) NEBULA AWARD; Pamela Sargent, 'If Ever I Should Leave You' (1974); Joan D. Vinge, 'View from a Height' (1978); M. Lucie Chin, 'The Best Is Yet to Be' (1978); Lisa Tuttle, 'Wives' (1979) and Connie Willis, 'Daisy, In the Sun' (1979).
