- studies of gender and sexuality issues in SF
- studies of feminist SF
- Helen Merrick: "With scattered beginnings in the SF and women’s movement magazines of the early seventies, a uniquely feminist branch of SF criticism emerged in specialized SF journals of the �980s, with the first monograph appearing in 1989, Sarah Lefanu’s In the Chinks of the World Machine. There followed a series of other studies and collections through the 1990s, peaking with Jenny Wolmark’s Aliens and Others in 1996." -- Helen Merrick, Book Reviews: What's a Bright Feminist Like You Doing in a Genre Like This?
