Panel Description

While 40+ SF novels have been published since 1990 concerning journeys to, exploration of, settlement, colonization, social reorganization and/or revolution on Mars, only two have been written by women: Red Genesis (1991) by Sondra Sykes, and Red Planet Run (1995) by Dana Stabenow. Clearly the situation is dire, as this combined output by women has been matched in number by William Shatner alone! Why the imbalance here? What is the potential social cost of not participating in Mars-specific society-building narratives?
