Feminist Sci-Fi: An Anthology

Few realize that women played a pivotal role in the development of science fiction. Even fewer know that feminist science fiction became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This collection contains a broad spectrum of this genre, many of which have been all but forgotten. Ten novels and short stories and two appendices round out this volume.

The anthology is $1.49 and available on AmazonBarnes & Noble, and Kobo.  If you prefer, you can also buy directly from us via Payhip in all formats (.mobi, epub, and pdf).


Approx. 785 pages or 231,813 words long. 


As with all ebooks from The Forlorn Press, Feminist Sci-Fi contains a clickable table of contents.
