Worlds Within Women: Myth and Mythmaking in Fantastic Literature by Women is a 1986 work of feminist SF studies by Thelma J. Shinn.
- Description
- "Focusing on the connection between metaphor and myth, Thelma Shinn provides a methaphoric reading of fantastic literature by women that enables the reader to glimpse its underlying mythic purpose and content. She examines some seventy novels by twenty-four women writers and draws on a rich variety of secondary sources in literature, women's studies, science fiction/fantasy scholarship, and comparative mythology."
