The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction

"Larbalestier has assembled a volume that skillfully expands the critical discourse on feminist science fiction. ...Taken as a whole, the anthology serves as an insightful overview of the intermingled development of Western feminism and science fiction since 1927"--Choice

"Larbalestier plunges into her account of the sex-wars that have emerged in the pages of science fiction magazines with intelligence, much information and a good deal of common sense. In light of today's interest in the position of women, she reports on this conflict not only with fascinating documentation and a cascade of insights, but also with great intellectual richness and readability."--Samuel R. Delany, author of Dhalgren
