The Clichés from Outer Space is a text by Joanna Russ, which first appeared in The Witch and the Chameleon, April 1, 1975, and was expanded in Women's Studies Forum International 7:2, 1984. It was collected in Russ's The Hidden Side of the Moon.
The rejected manuscripts for the anthology which the narrator's imaginary friend, Ermintrude, is putting together, place a spell on the narrator, and the narrator's typewriter begins writing trash: the Clichés from Outer Space.
Which are as follow: "The-Weird-Ways-of-Getting-Pregnant Story", "The Talking About It Story", "The Noble Separatist Story", and "THE TURNABOUT STORY, or, I Always Knew What They Wanted to Do to Me Because I've Been Doing It to Them for Years, Especially in the Movies".
