Description
Science fiction and fantasy have long been associated with female creators, characters, and fans. Despite this, scholarly interest in these fictional women has been inconsistent. This collection of new essays aims to address this gap by critically examining the depiction of women and gender in science fiction and fantasy. The contributors are scholars, teachers, writers, and professionals from related fields who focus on a diverse range of female characters, from vampire slayers to time travelers and spacefarers. By exploring both page and screen representations, they shed new light on the complex and varied roles that women play in these genres. Through their analysis, the authors provide a nuanced understanding of the evolution of femininity and gender roles in science fiction and fantasy, offering insights into the enduring influence of iconic female characters on popular culture.
