"Science fiction is our society's literature of visualization. The blueprint of our imagining creates the structure of the future, whether we visualize it as repeating familiar patterns or full of new possibilities. And for feminists science fiction offers the space to imagine what new institutions, relationships and culture might look like... Feminist science fiction is a rich space at the intersection of popular literature and feminist thought, where extraordinary other worlds are imagined by writers such as Ursula Le Guin and Joanna Russ. Women of Other Worlds examines this phenomenon, collecting work from all aspects of feminist SF - fiction, poetry, criticism, fan-writing, even a recipe. It presents an international sampler of a vibrant and challenging form of contemporary women's writing."
