Lisa Yaszek, experte en SF, présente la plus grande et la meilleure étude jamais publiée sur la tradition féminine dans la science-fiction américaine, une collection passionnante de vingt-cinq récits classiques. Des pionnières de l’ère Pulp aux expérimentatrices de la Nouvelle Vague, voici plus de deux douzaines de brillantes écrivaines prêtes à être découvertes ou redécouvertes, parmi lesquelles Leslie F. Stone, Judith Merril, Leigh Brackett, Kit Reed, Joanna Russ, James Tiptree Jr. et Ursula K. Le Guin. Imaginant des mondes étranges et des futurs inattendus, regardant vers et au-delà des nouvelles technologies et des découvertes scientifiques, dans des fantasmes utopiques et des récits d’horreur cosmique, ces femmes ont créé et façonné la fiction spéculative aussi sûrement que leurs homologues masculins. Leurs histoires provocantes et époustouflantes se combinent pour former un voyage multidimensionnel palpitant d’exploration et de récupération littéraire-féministe.

Media

“Make no mistake: The quality of the stories here is unassailable.” Kirkus Reviews

“Valuable … educational and enjoyable, a significant retrospective of science fiction’s foremothers.”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“An impressive and super fun-to-read collection that’s well worth picking up, and what it will leave you with (other than the notion that the future ain’t what it used to be) is the sense that women have always been into sci-fi—and they’ve been good at it.” —Marie Claire

“Lisa Yaszek’s fascinating and well-researched anthology presents a trove of writers who helped define the genre…what all the stories have in common is sheer readability and a delicious sense of discovery.” Gary K. Wolfe, The Chicago Tribune
