Description

Partners in Wonder revolutionizes our knowledge of women and early science fiction. Contrary to accepted interpretations, women fans and writers were a welcome and influential part of pulp science fiction from the birth of the genre. Eric Leif Davin finds that at least 203 female authors, under their own names, published more than one thousand stories in science fiction magazines between 1926 and 1965. This work explores the distinctly different form of science fiction that women writers produced—one that was both more utopian and more empathetic than that of their male counterparts. Partners in Wonder presents, for the first time, a complete bibliography of every story published by women in science fiction magazines from 1926 to 1965 and brief biographies on 133 of these women writers. It is thus the most comprehensive source of information on early science fiction writers available and will be of great importance to scholars of women’s studies, popular culture, and English literature, as well as science fiction. ERIC LEIF DAVIN is Lecturer in the Department of History at the University of Pittsburgh.
