Hope Mirrlees

2006-11-05T17:06:23Z

141.155.150.239: added link

'''Helen Hope Mirrlees''' (1887 - 1 August 1978) was an English writer who published novels, nonfiction, poetry, and, along with the scholar and feminist Jane Harrison, with whom she lived for several years, translations.

Mirrlees is best known for her third novel, [[Lud-in-the-Mist]] (1926), which was reprinted without her permission in [[1970]] in mass-market paperback format by Lin Carter for the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series. It the only one of her works still in print today, thanks to recent reeditions, translations into German and Spanish, and new recognition in the canon of fantasy literature.

However, this resurgence in popularity for Mirrlees's fantasy novel has been marred by an almost equal disregard for her other works, and a mystification of Mirrlees herself ("What a strange creature Hope Mirrlees was!" -- Michael Swanwick), in striking correspondence to the tactics described by [[Joanna Russ]]: "By careful selection it is possible to create what I would call ''the myth of the isolated achievement'', that is, the impression that although X appears in this history of literature or that curriculum or that anthology, it is only because of one book or a handful of (usually the same) poems, and therefore X's other work is taken to be non-existent or inferior." (in ''[[How to Suppress Women's Writing]]'', p.62)

[[Joanna Russ]] wrote a short story, "[[The Zanzibar Cat (story)|The Zanzibar Cat]]" (1971), in homage to Mirrlees's [[Lud-in-the-Mist]], "half in affectionate parody, but the other half very seriously indeed".

Mirrlees's influence has also been noted in the works of [[Neil Gaiman]] and [[Susanna Clarke]].

List of passing women and women in drag in SF

2006-11-05T05:25:06Z

141.155.150.239: added red tornado & madame fatal

The female character has some compelling reason to live as a male, often to avoid physical danger while traveling, or to take advantage of greater adventure or job opportunities. This is a particularly common way for [[YA fiction]] to explore gender issues. "Passing women" have shown up in plenty of non-SF works as well, again, particularly in YA fiction. "[[Passing women]]" are part of a broader phenomena of, usually, members of discriminated-against classes "[[passing]]" themselves as members of the privileged classes. Examples:

* [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]], [[Hawkmistress!]] (1982) (girl disguises herself as boy and passes for male)
* [[Louise Marley]], [[The Terrorists of Irustan]] (1999)
* [[Maureen McHugh]], [[Mission Child]] (woman lives and passes as man)
* [[Tamora Pierce]], [[Alanna: The First Adventure]] (girl disguises herself as boy in order to get education as a knight)
* [[Image:ElizabethWeston-TalesOfSlayers-Presumption.jpg|right]] [[Jane Espenson]], "Presumption" in ''[[Tales of the Slayers]]'' ([[Elizabeth Weston]], slayer 1812-1813, Somerset England, lives as nobleman Edward Weston)
* "Red Tornado" (Abigail Mathilda "Ma" Hunkel) was a golden age DC superhero who wore longjohn-style tights and a pot on her head. (She has since gone on to play a woman in her 80s who acts as a parental figure to the Justice Society of America members)
* "Madame Fatal" (Richard Stanton) was a golden age Quality Comics hero, non-SF, who would disguise himself as a woman to fight crime.
