Female Science-Fiction Writers

Submitted by Oak on Sat, 03/26/2011 - 2:05am.

when did they flourish, where did they flourish, and in what context? They have been flourishing almost as long as sci-fi has been flourishing.

Who was their constituency, or audience? Their audience is typically young adults, though many people appreciate sci-fi.

Why do they matter? Science fiction uses a lot of metaphors, and looking at the metaphors used by female sci-fi writers can tell us a lot about women's relations to science.
