	Women science fiction authors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the novel Frankenstein, written in 1818 by Mary Shelley, has been called the first science fiction novel, there is a persistent but false belief that women did not enter the field of science fiction writing until the 1960s and 1970s.
		This was followed in the late 1960s and 1970s by a wave of feminist science fiction, by such writers as Joanna Russ and Sheri S. Tepper.
		Since then, women science fiction writers have entered all parts of the field, from hard science fiction to science fantasy and everything in between.

		A science fiction story may be firmly rooted in real scientific possibilities (see Hard science fiction) as they are understood at the time of writing, as in 's novel A Fall of Moondust, or highly imaginative, set in an extraterrestrial civilization or a parallel universe, as in Isaac Asimov's novel The Gods Themselves.
		The broader category of speculative fiction (first suggested by Robert A. Heinlein) includes science fiction, fantasy, alternate histories (which often have no particular scientific or futuristic component), and even literary stories in which the only fantastic element is the strangeness of their style.
		Science fiction television dates from at least as early as 1938, when the BBC staged a live performance of the science fiction play R.U.R. The first regularly scheduled SF series to achieve a degree of popularity was Captain Video and his Video Rangers, which ran from 1949 to 1955 on the American DuMont Network.

		Women, however, are not always part of their created world, and those permitted to share it are often forced to conform to a sociological vision not unlike that of the contemporary century.
		Although the universal language of science and rationality popularized in pulp SF was tailored to a rather narrow, white-male constituency, it could still be construed as a populist refusal of the elitist vehicles of "literary" speech and "metaphysical" discourse that had traditionally dominated Western literate culture.
		Until then, feminist authors must infiltrate the system covertly, for as long as science fiction continues to serve as a barometer of popular patriarchal culture, women's roles must be hacked from the circuitry of the male matrix.

	Science Fiction
		Science fiction is an incubator for imaginative minds to create visions that help us to glimpse not only the future, but also something about ourselves in the present.
		The science fiction of the 20th century, he argues, not only created the concept of the robot but demonstrated the complexity of the threats, opportunities and moral dilemmas their arrival would spark.
		Science fiction, a term coined in the 1930s to distinguish the genre from the pulp fiction then becoming popular, carried on examining human morality by placing its characters into situations where some limiting problem had been overcome, such as time travel.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		"Women's writing" is becoming a no-win phrase, in much the same way that "politically correct"—a term once used self-deprecatingly by believers in equality to remind themselves not to become too doctrinaire—has been co-opted by reductive voices of derision.
		To say "women's writing" in science fiction nowadays is to risk damning the fiction so labeled with the implication that it is either lightweight or overly polemical.
		This is fiction by writers whose visions have changed and are changing the face of science fiction and fantasy.

		Sargent's informative introduction, in which she discusses the intractability of the science fiction definition and the difficulty women have had gaining status as bona fide science fiction writers, provides a context that enhances the reading of this intriguing collection.
		Science fiction, with more women writing it, had a chance to become what it had claimed to be all along-a literature that embraces new possibilities.
		Sometime in the distant future, a manuscript was found: written by the women of the Lines- linguists who had lived in the first quarter of the 23rd century-it chronicles their history and the way their knowledge of language ultimately liberated them.

		Hard science fiction is often concerned with traditional sciences, in addition to technology and the hardware of the future.
		Proto-science fiction includes many gothic narrative examples as well as those written before "The Golden Age."[8] Before science fiction was classified as a separate genre, such authors as H. Wells, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Aldous Huxley, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Jules Verne were prime examples of writers creating a fiction considered speculative in nature.
		At last we come to cyberpunk, and though one could argue science fiction is finally in a postcyberpunk phase, it is evident that the rest of the world is still coming to terms with the cyberpunk generation.

	Feminism in Science Fiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Never again claiming that, "No, that’s my little brother’s I, Robot." These days women can proudly proclaim their passion for a genre that has historically fallen under the auspices of man. Today, it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to admit to a passion for science fiction.
		Women science fiction authors are coming forward to claim the attention they so richly deserve.
		The science fiction genre gives the feminist a unique environment for experimenting with the potential of a non-patriarchal society.

		Science fiction has always been about exploring the realm of possibilities, and that includes exploring gender and perception.
		The only rules: that the story had to be told from the viewpoint of a specific gender (male if the author was female, female if the author was male), and if changing the narrator from Victor to Victoria or vice versa didn't invalidate the story, they didn't want it.
		On the heels of his other two anthologies, Mike Resnick also gives us New Voices in Science Fiction, which showcases twenty of the genre's up and coming writers, some of whom have seen multiple novels published in recent years, some of whom are still working on their next short story publication.

	mammoth encyclopedia of science fiction - book review for zone-sf.com
		There's plenty to nitpick here, but The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction is not the abysmal failure that certain overhasty reviewers would have you believe.
		New girl, Justina Robson, merits a half-page, while Alison Sinclair and Tricia Sullivan are awarded whole pages - on the strength of three SF novels each, but greater talents like Connie Willis, and long established women authors Kate Wilhelm and Marion Zimmer Bradley are ignored.
		Other good points are the extensive cross-referencing between authors and themes, and helpful lists of further reading on similar tropes for each biography.

	Scientology - Science or New Age Cult?
		Hubbard had become a well known science fiction writer in the 1930s.
		Hubbard's reputation as an explorer, prolific science fiction writer, and parabotanist (he was one of the first to expound the idea of "communicating" with plants) enlarged to make him the worldwide spokesman for this fast-growing cult.
		His theology, which is today accepted by millions, eventually leads to tales of preincarnate souls trapped in ice cubes from the planet Mars: "One preclear (student of Scientology) said that this Thetan (somewhat similar to 'soul' or 'spirit') had inhabited the body of a doll on the planet Mars 469,476,600 years ago.
