	Review: Gwyneth Jones's Deconstructing the Starships: Science, Fiction and Reality, reviewed by Wendy Pearson
		Jones carries this process through in several of the novel's essays and some of the book reviews to a consideration of specific areas of SF writing, most notably cyberpunk and feminist SF.
		One of the dilemmas Jones, a self-proclaimed feminist, sees in certain schools of feminist SF is the recourse to essentialism (women are women and what is most quintessential in all women is their femaleness) as a strategy for validating the lives of women in the face of a hostile patriarchal world.
		Indeed, Jones writes with a kind of British understatement that depends on her ability to say what she means with precision, while at the same time exhibiting a nice sense of humour, a penchant for irony and, occasionally, a touch of outrage.

	Amazon.ca: North Wind: Books: Gwyneth Jones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Jones is a novelist of exotically futuristic worlds whose complex political landscapes heavily influence the scope of her plots-as in White Queen, the first winner of the James Tiptree Jr.
		Now, a hundred years after the legendary Johnny Guglioli tried to sabotage the Aleutians' orbiting sunship, Earth is in the midst of a devastating "gender" war, and the Aleutians provoke violent antialien sentiment for their misunderstood plan to aid humanity by leveling the Himalayas.
		Spotlighting the clash between human and alien cultures, Jones follows the intertwined fates of Bella, a crippled young Aleutian, and her human caretaker, Sydney Carton, a member of a fanatical pro-Aleutian enclave.

	EI > Reviews > Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
		Freshman director Sharon Maguire takes the ideas of novelist Helen Fielding and the person of lead actress Renée Zellweger to show the world this ambition from the point of view of a trouble-hearted young woman.
		The movie begins with Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) turning 32 and realizing that in order to avoid Glenn Close's fate in Fatal Attraction, she must change herself and her life.
		Bridget's separated parents (played by Gemma Jones and John Broadbent) were simply on hand to add more torment to Bridget's life for seemingly no reason (besides, they were back in each other's arms by the movie's end); Bridget's friends Jude (Shirley Henderson), Shazza (Sally Phillips), and Tom (James Callis) were the predictable singles support line.

	Emerald City - #84
		In the sequel to Bold as Love, Gwyneth Jones gives up all pretence that she is not writing an Arthurian romance.
		However, it isn't clear whether Jones is making a political point about refusing to accept transsexuals as women, or whether she's just trying to remind her readers of Roxanne's nature.
		But I would be so disappointed in Jones if she managed to do anything that was expected of her, except of course to surprise and delight us, which I am sure she will.

	Locus Online: Adam Roberts on the Clarke Awards
		Of course it may be that no such novel has triumphed because the judges have never found a book of this sort that had the aesthetic and literary merit to win the prize.
		But it’s hard to shake the anxiety that it is just much harder for a book of this sort, however well done, to impress the judges — that it is easier for a novelist to shine if she or he hugs the shore of the mainstream.
		Gwyneth Jones’s Bold as Love also has, at its margins, SF-style gadgets, but the bulk of this extraordinary, beautiful near-future fantasy has to do with the actualities of contemporary English politics, mixed strikingly with the world of popular music.

	jones Coat of Arms, Family Crest
		While the ancestors of the bearers of jones came from ancient Welsh-Celtic origins, the name itself has its roots in Christianity.
		This surname comes from the personal name John, which is derived from the Latin Johannes, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." This name has always been common in Britain, rivaling William in popularity by the beginning of the 14th century.
		The feminine form Joan, or Johanna in Latin, was also popular, and the surname jones may be derived from either the male or female name.

	Fantasy and Science Fiction - Book Reviews
		The novel centers around scientist Anna Senoz and her discovery of chromosomal material that has started jumping ship from Y to X. Beginning with an inversion of "ordinary" marriage patterns (driven wife, stay-at-home adoring husband), the narrative goes on to reverse or call into question virtually every genre model and role expectation we have.
		Jones' s genius here, however, is in the many layers and textures of experience she gives us, her recognition that great discoveries, great science, great art — like great sorrow and tragedy — take place against the minutiae of our days: bills that must be paid, petty arguments, ingrown toenails, dyspepsia, dentists.
		Charting the early and middle life of a number of characters, Jones exhibits a passion to include it all: every clash and crisis and crawlspace of contemporary life, every combination, to wring from her text the very last dollop of significance.

	Reviews: November 2002
		Judged by the standards of the early and middle periods of the century, the essays delineate a field that would be almost unrecognizable as science fiction were it not labeled as such, for technology and science form distinctly minor themes.
		A final pair of essays, rather different than the rest of the collection, are by Gwyneth Jones and Brian Stableford on their own futuristic fiction.
		Gwyneth Jones, self-identifying as a feminist sf author, writes about her Kairos novels in terms of a growing realization that the novels hit closer to home than she had at first imagined, as they begin consciously to contest and subvert the reigning male paradigms of how to write sf.

	Gwyneth Jones : Phoenix Cafe : An interview with spike magazine
		The depth of Jones' work is reflected by the amount of historical research she does in the process of writing, but she rejects the idea that her books are somehow a coded history of Europe.
		Jones sees these horrifying historical themes being unconsciously projected into Stateside science fiction: "In the vast majority of American SF, there's only two options when the aliens arrive - they're either going to kill everybody or enslave everybody.
		Still, Jones is not a complete sceptic when it comes to the question of extra-terrestrial life: "The idea that there is no life out there seems to me to be very weird.

		The insight is confused; it can no longer distinguish between the true and the false, it has no longer the strength to go on with the vast labour that calls at every moment for the use of so many different faculties.
		Like me, such readers may find the politics oddly monochrome, and the rants bemusingly obvious (as in, "who on earth is ever going to espouse the kind of idiotic philosophy that this book rails against, and expect to be taken seriously?").
		I don't fully agree with the argument I quoted by Jones, in that although I think the novel as a whole leans towards satire, and is somewhat diminished by that, Whileaway itself still feels fairly plausible, if heading in the direction of wish-fulfillment.

		In this age of cinema and video the position of the literary novelist is somewhere to one side of visual entertainment, attempting to remain aloof from it, and most writers can ascertain their standpoint, categorise themselves, from that position.
		I say this because there are those who think the storyteller a simple writer, with limited skills, which is a long way from the truth.
