Frank Herbert

2010-12-20T08:36:27Z

Rabbit: italicized titles

[[1920]] - [[1986]].

Frank Herbert is a well-known SF writer. While some of his works played a little bit with gender, he also fell prey to some typically sexist failures of characterization. For instance, in ''Hellstrom's Hive'', a matriarchal subspecies of humans was rather loathsome and insect-like.

* ''[[Hellstrom's Hive]]'' (1973) - Portrayed an insect-like race of humans as matriarchal.
* ''[[The White Plague]]'' (1982) - A male scientist unleashes a plague that kills only women, dooming the human race.
* ''[[Dune]]'' (1965) - ''Dune'' and sequels portrayed a relatively patriarchal government, with a powerful matriarchal cult (the [[Bene Gesserit]]) dedicated to breeding the Uber-boy.

Robert A. Heinlein

2010-12-20T08:31:58Z

Rabbit: /* Notable Heinlein works */

Notable for writing female characters without sexual inhibitions.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein_bibliography Bibliography at Wikipeda]

==Sexism in Heinlein==
People frequently cite Heinlein as a nonsexist or even feminist writer, and just as frequently cite him as sexist. The principle argument that he was nonsexist or feminist is that he often wrote about intelligent female characters, who were sexually liberated. In response, critics have pointed out:

In general "sexual liberated women" = "sexually available to everyone" . Examples include:

* The scene in ''[[The Moon is a Harsh Mistress]]'' where the men are training with guns for the revolution, and then the narrator starts to talk about what the women are doing to help, and for just a moment there the reader gets excited about what the women are doing and them getting a meaningful part. Then he tells us that the women get to help "keep up the morale" by bouncing their breasts in low-g. So the only way women can help the revolution is by being sex objects.

* The treatment of the older sister in ''[[The Rolling Stones]]'': She's never as good as the boys at anything, and is a bit of background character. The family seems quite concerned with her being married off, with no corresponding concern for whether or not the boys will get married.

* [[Podkayne]] in ''[[Podkayne of Mars]]'' is the prototypical spunky girl protagonist — who gives it all up in the end to be a wife.

* [[Friday]] in ''[[Friday]]'' is an intelligent, beautiful, able young woman, who nevertheless appears governed in significant part by her biological capacity for childbearing.

==Notable Heinlein works==

; gender commentary
* ''[[Podkayne of Mars]]'' (juvenile with a female protagonist)
* ''[[Friday]]'' (Heinlein's kick-ass female protagonist novel)
* "[[-- All You Zombies -- ]]" (1955 short story about an [[intersex]]ed time traveler who is both "his" own father and mother)
* ''[[I Will Fear No Evil]]'' (1970 novel about a man, Johann Sebastian Bach Smith, who transplants his body into that of his secretary, Eunice Branca; s/he are rechristened [[Joan Eunice Smith]].)

; other significant works
* ''[[Stranger in a Strange Land]]'' (1961 novel; cult classic; "grok")
* ''[[The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress]]'' (1966 novel; one of the most famous SF novels about revolution)
* ''[[Time Enough for Love]]'' (1973 novel) (the story of [[Lazarus Long]])
* ''[[To Sail Beyond the Sunset]]'' (1987 novel; the memoir of [[Maureen Johnson Smith Long]], mother and wife of [[Lazarus Long]]) -- ''Time Enough for Love'' and ''To Sail Beyond the Sunset'' tell us more about Heinlein's thinking about sex than actually advancing thought about sex.

Leslie F. Stone

2010-12-08T14:12:46Z

Rabbit: /* References to Stone & Stone's work */ typo

==Biography==
Daughter of [[Lillian Spellman]]; described as '"the leading female light" of [[Hugo Gernsback]]'s inner circle".<ref>Weinbaum, p.471, citing ''New Eves''.</ref>

==Names==
Sadly, pioneer SF&F writer Leslie F. Stone (pseudonym of Leslie F. Silberberg, nee Leslie Francis Rubenstein) didn’t make the cut, so here’s a nice biographical sketch of "Miss Stone" from Partners in Wonder: Women and the Birth of Science Fiction, 1926-1965 (2005), by Eric Leif Davin:

* Leslie Frances Stone (Leslie Francis Stone)
* Leslie F. Stone (pseudonym)
* Leslie F. Silberberg (married name)
* Mrs. William Silverberg (married name)
* Leslie Francis Rubenstein (birth name)

==Works==
; Novels
* ''[[Across the Void]]'' (1931)
* "[[Out of the Void]]" (1929 serial publication; 1967 as a stand-alone novel)

; short fiction
* "Letter of the Twenty-Fourth Century" (1929)
* "When the Sun Went Out" (1929)
* "Through the Veil" (1930)
* "Women With Wings" (1930)
* "[[The Conquest of Gola]]" (1931)
* "The Conquest of Gola" (1931)

==References to Stone & Stone's work==
* [[Batya Weinbaum]], "Sex-Role Reversal in the Thirties: Leslie F. Stone's 'The Conquest of Gola'", ''[[Science-Fiction Studies]]'', Vol. 24, No. 3 (Nov., 1997), pp. 471-482.
:: Abstract: Leslie F. Stone is a little-known woman writer from the early days of science fiction. In the story examined here, "The Conquest of Gola," she posits a matriarchal planet in which men are kept by women as houseboys and playthings. This planet is invaded by men from another planet who want to colonize it for their own purposes. The women of Gola don't take these invaders seriously. A war is fought, in which the women use superior technology and thought-forms to defend themselves and to battle the men. In this reversal, Stone spoofs not only sex roles, but also imperialism and colonialism. Her story predicts certain inventions such as laser beams, and demonstrates the strong influence of [[H.G. Wells]]. Her work seems to reflect intellectual currents of the times, including the popularity of psychoanalysis and the call for more egalitarian inclusion of women in the cultural arena.

Anthologies of SF with gender themes

2010-06-30T12:12:15Z

Rabbit: /* W */ corrected misspelled name

{{compactTOC3|Sec1=|Sec2=References}}

This list includes anthologies that have a gender theme. The anthology theme may be either themes within the stories themselves (e.g., feminist perspectives, women characters, queer characters, a gender-specific or historically-gender-associated role) or thematic selection of works based on the author (e.g., works by women authors).

* See also [[List of sexuality themed SF anthologies]]
* See also [[List of queer SF anthologies]]

==Critical anthologies==
Critical anthologies for feminist SF studies include:
* [[Daughters of Earth (anthology)]] ed. by [[Justine Larbalestier]]
* Women of Wonder: The Classic Years ed. by [[Pamela Sargent]]
* Women of Wonder: The Contemporary Years ed. by [[Pamela Sargent]]
* The James Tiptree, Jr. Award anthologies

Several good anthologies for supernatural fiction exist; consider:
* Daughters of the Moon
* Forbidden Journeys
* The Lifted Veil (aka The Penguin Book of Classic Fantasy by Women)

Anthologies of SF with gender themes

2010-06-30T12:06:45Z

Rabbit: /* W */

{{compactTOC3|Sec1=|Sec2=References}}

This list includes anthologies that have a gender theme. The anthology theme may be either themes within the stories themselves (e.g., feminist perspectives, women characters, queer characters, a gender-specific or historically-gender-associated role) or thematic selection of works based on the author (e.g., works by women authors).

* See also [[List of sexuality themed SF anthologies]]

{{compactTOC3|Sec1=|Sec2=References}}

This list includes anthologies that have a gender theme. The anthology theme may be either themes within the stories themselves (e.g., feminist perspectives, women characters, queer characters, a gender-specific or historically-gender-associated role) or thematic selection of works based on the author (e.g., works by women authors).
