Theodore Sturgeon

Primarily a writer of science fiction, Sturgeon was an influence on Samuel R. Delany, and wrote work that looked at issues of gender and sex. Among his works that are of particular interest to a feminist sf audience are:

• Venus Plus X (1980) (a race of apparent neuters)
• "Affair with a Green Monkey"
• "The World Well Lost' (1966) - one of the first, if not the first, sf story to deal directly with homosexuality
• "If All Men Were Brothers, Would You Let One Marry Your Sister" (1967) - sexual repression
