Sisters Of The Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology

Description

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 1970s

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. Including new, emerging voices such as Nnedi Okorafor

and featuring international contributions from Angelica Gorodischer and

many more, this collection seeks to expand the ideas of both contemporary

fiction and feminism to new fronts. Moving from the fantastic to the

futuristic, subtle to surreal, these stories will provoke thoughts and

emotions about feminism like no other book available today. Other

contributors include Anne Richter, Carol Emshwiller, Eleanor Arnason,

Hiromi Goto, Joanna Russ, Karin Tidbeck, Kelley Eskridge, Kelly Barnhill,

Kit Reed, L. Timmel Duchamp, Leena Krohn, Leonora Carrington, Pamela

Sargent, Rose Lemberg, Susan Palwick, Tanith Lee, Ursula K. Le Guin, and

Vandana Singh.
