	Joanna Russ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joanna Russ (born February 22, 1937), American writer, is the author of a number of works of science fiction (among other sorts of writing), including The Female Man, a meditation on how differing societies might produce very different versions of the same person, and how all might interact, particularly in the face of sexism.
		Russ was a notable feminist writer in science fiction in the early 1970s, a time when women were starting to enter the field in larger numbers.
		It can be said that science fiction was a field dominated by male authors, often thought to be writing for a predominantly male audience; by contrast Russ was one of the most outspoken authors to challenge male dominance.

	SF20 : bio: russ
		Joanna Russ, born in 1937, is credited by critics with being the writer who brought lesbian and feminist issues into science fiction.
		Russ applies feminist theory in her novels--as well as in her non-fiction pieces--to criticize the undue influence of men on society.
		Russ characterizes herself as a lesbian, but she feels that the culture definitions that she must "fit into" are too narrow to define her individuality.

	Feminist SFF & Utopia: Reviews: Joanna Russ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Russ is an important figure in both feminist SF and New Wave SF; her novels are notable both for their strong feminist messages and their stylistic and narrative innovations.
		Joanna has more choices than Jeannine, but she is still expected to orient herself around men and is constantly being told "women can't" or "women don't"....
		Joanna wistfully calls Janet a woman "whom we don't believe in and whom we deride but who is in secret our savior from utter despair." Jael brings the other Js together in her world, a near future in which men and women wage a cold war.

	Janna Russ: We Who Are About To Die
		Russ' protaganist is not a particularly wise or likable character.
		Russ' narrative is a plea for realism, and for a recognition that sometimes it is better to go gently into that goodnight.
		Russ sees death not as the sudden endpoint of corporeal life, nor as the entry to some religious afterlife, but as a process that can teach us as much as anything else in life, if we allow ourselves to quiet down our frantic survival instincts and learn.

	Joanna RUSS
		Abbiamo il continuo "moralizzare" di Joanna, sempre molto attenta alle convenzioni di una realtà in cui i "ruoli" sono incredibilmente definiti al di là dell'ipocrisia di un'emancipazione solo apparente.
		La Russ ben sottolinea i termini della questione femminile, che risiedono, più che nel contrasto sessista e sessuofobo, nella difficoltà di ridefinire un ruolo comunicativo attivo dell'universo femminile, in quel continuo atto linguistico che è la realtà del divenire delle cose.
		Che la Russ insista sulle caratterizzazioni anti-femminili del linguaggio è evidente, a partire da quando ipotizza il mondo utopico di Whileaway, nella cui lingua ogni distinzione di genere perde significato rendendo invece evidente la mistificazione maschilista del linguaggio terrestre.

	[No title]
		Joanna, based rather explicitly on Russ herself, is the product of our own "continuum." She is a college professor living in a late-'60s America that is historically recognizable to the reader.
		As a successful professor of English, Joanna, the most autobiographical character in the text, has achieved the professional status that Jeannine can scarcely dream of, yet she feels torn between societal expectations that she be "feminine" and her intense pleasure in her work: I live between worlds.
		For Russ, it appears, the course on which women had set themselves in the early days of the second wave was inextricably connected with a notion of "work." The female worker was, de facto, a feminist, and, conversely, the feminist was a female worker.

	Science Fiction and the Feminist Movement
		Joanna Russ argues that science fiction allows a writer to peer into the future to tailor and highlight social, political, linguistic, cultural or gender issues and criticize current attitudes.
		Russ found that few publishers were sympathetic to her approach and found it difficult to get her books taken seriously.
		Joanna's world is the present and she has spent the majority of her energy looking for "The Man." Jeannine also lives in the present except that in her universe Hitler never took power, World War II never happened and The Great Depression never ended.

	Classic Sci-Fi Reviews: The Female Man
		Joanna is from modern Earth and is striving to find a feeling of personal self-worth that is difficult to attain in a male-dominated society.
		She takes Janet, Joanna and Jeannine on a trip to her brutal world of separate male and female societies, hoping to impress Janet into allowing her to use Whileaway as a training camp for female soldiers.
		The four female archetypes Russ creates are also powerfully delineated, and together Joanna, Jeannine, Janet and Jael remain four of the most memorable characters from 1970s SF.

		Joanna is a 1970s feminist trying to make it in a man's world by being just like a man. Janet Evason, a traveler from Whileaway which has not been home to a man in over 800 years, suddenly appears on a Broadway sidewalk.
		Russ and her peers didn't always write novels that were neat and orderly, and this one in particular can drive the close-minded insane.
		Russ is a rebel, and at one point in the novel she even predicts the negative reaction of literary critics on her book and provides examples of the reviews she believed they would write.

		Russ addresses the place of women of color, lesbians, separatists, and socialists in the modern feminist movement, and offers practical suggestions for how women can get back to the real feminist fight.
		One strength of the book for those who want to fill in the gaps in their knowledge of feminist history is that Russ is extremely well-read in her subject, and taken to extensively quoting the arguments and theories of other feminist thinkers.
		Joanna Russ's classic 1970s SF novel features four women from alternative Earths that each have very different relations between the sexes.

		How to utilize this book: 1) Put it on your shelf if you loved The Female Man, are a die-hard Russ fan, and must own every word she has ever scribbled.
		In 1997, the bulk of innovative writing by women remains either impressionistic or experiential: we talk either about how we experience life, or what (narrative) in life we have experienced.

		Russ liefert keine hausbackene Handlung, sondern einen höchst elektrischen Patchwork-Text, geschult an der blendenden Dekadenz des New Wave (für ihre dem Roman zugrunde liegende Erzählung When It Changed erhielt sie 1972 den Nebula-Award): Eine Weile entfernt ist gnadenlos sezierend, höchst amüsant, hitzköpfig, hoffnungsfroh und gar nicht so versteckt didaktisch.

		The novel functions as what Monique Wittig calls a "literary war machine" because it tries "to pulverize the old forms and formal conventions." Specifically, Russ critiques the "straight mind"--heterosexual institutions that regulate gender--by showing how two representatives from "our world" respond to those institutions.
		She also shows two alternative worlds that further undermine, but do not solve, the way heterosexual institutions regulate gender.
		Of these, the most successful is language, which allows women to kill the myth of Woman and to abolish the class of women.
