    "But for my money, the sci-fi event of the season is the second volume of the Library of America's absorbing "The Future is Female" (Oct. 11) series. This installment focuses on short stories by women of the 1970s, the heyday of Ursula K. Le Guin and James Tiptree Jr., the pseudonym of Chicagoan Alice Bradley Sheldon." --Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribun e
    Synopsis
    Go back to the Future Is Female in this wildly entertaining collection of stories by the trailblazing feminist writers who transformed American science fiction Imagine it, if you can bear to look back: long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the writing of science fiction (so the story goes) was an affair dominated by men, or what Ursula K. Le Guin once described as a "baboon patriarchy"--its female characters figments of adolescent fantasy, awaiting rescue in bronze brassieres, to be mansplained to about rocketry and ray guns. Now cut to the 1970s--the coming-of-age decade from which the 20 stories gathered here emerged--when it all changed. Following on The Future Is Female! , which traced the prehistory for women's science fiction from the 1920s to the 1960s, this volume presents the astonishingly brave and compelling stories of the women who remade the genre in the 1970s, including Joanna Russ, Octavia E. Butler, Lisa Tuttle, Vonda N. McIntyre, and more. Not only winning Hugo and Nebula awards and the assent of the male SF establishment ("the best writers are the women," Harlan Ellison was forced to admit), these brilliant visionaries invented worlds that helped us see beyond the timebound battles of the sexes on our own. Sometimes writing as men--as in the case of James Tiptree Jr., the "ineluctably masculine" but gender-bending and secretly female breakout star of the decade--but no longer writing for or all about them, these now-classic rebels and experimentalists looked far forward--to futures way beyond us even now, in stories that continue to provoke, inspire, and awe., Go back to the Future Is Female in this all new collection of wildly entertaining stories by the trailblazing feminist writers who transformed American science fiction in the 1970s In the 1970s, feminist authors created a new mode of science fiction in defiance of the "baboon patriarchy"-Ursula Le Guin's words-that had long dominated the genre, imagining futures that are still visionary. In this sequel to her groundbreaking 2018 anthology The Future is Female!- 25 Classic Science Fiction Stories by Women from Pulp Pioneers to Ursula K. Le Guin , SF-expert Lisa Yaszek offers a time machine back to the decade when far-sighted rebels changed science fiction forever with stories that made female community, agency, and sexuality central to the American future. Here are twenty-three wild, witty, and wonderful classics that dramatize the liberating energies of the 1970s- Sonya Dorman, "Bitching It" (1971) Kate Wilhelm, "The Funeral" (1972) Joanna Russ, "When It Changed" (1972) NEBULA AWARD Miriam Allen deFord, "A Way Out"(1973) Vonda N. McIntyre, "Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand" (1973) NEBULA James Tiptree, Jr., "The Girl Who Was Plugged In" (1973) HUGO AWARD Kathleen Sky, "Lament of the Keeku Bird" (1973) Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Day Before the Revolution" (1974) NEBULA & LOCUS AWARD Eleanor Arnason, "The Warlord of Saturn's Moons" (1974) Kathleen M. Sidney, "The Anthropologist" (1975) Marta Randall, "A Scarab in the City of Time" (1975) Elinor Busby, "A Time to Kill" (1977) Raccoona Sheldon, "The Screwfly Solution" (1977) NEBULA AWARD Pamela Sargent, "If Ever I Should Leave You" (1974) Joan D. Vinge, "View from a Height" (1978) M. Lucie Chin, "The Best Is Yet to Be" (1978) Lisa Tuttle, "Wives" (1979) Connie Willis, "Daisy, In the Sun" (1979)
