We Who Are About To... is a 1977 science fiction Robinsonade novel by Joanna Russ.

Plot with spoilers

Russ crash-lands a group of tourists on a deserted planet and turns the Robinson Crusoe plot on its head. The female protagonist refuses the futile survivalism of her companions, especially when she is threatened with forced breeding. The novel is concerned with human responses to imminent death, but also examines how those responses are informed by gender.
