Sisters of the
Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology by Ann VanderMeer 813.08
Si848
Sisters of the Revolution gathers a highly curated selection of feminist
speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more) chosen by one
of the most respected editorial teams in speculative literature today, the
award-winning Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Including stories from the 1970s to the
present day, the collection seeks to expand the conversation about feminism
while engaging the reader in a wealth of imaginative ideas. From the literary
heft of Angela Carter to the searing power of Octavia Butler, Sisters of the
Revolution gathers daring examples of speculative fiction’s engagement with
feminism.
Dark, satirical stories
such as Eileen Gunn’s “Stable Strategies for Middle Management” and the
disturbing horror of James Tiptree Jr.’s “The Screwfly Solution” reveal the
charged intensity at work in the field. Including new, emerging voices such as
Nnedi Okorafor and featuring international contributions from Angelica
Gorodischer and many more, this collection seeks to expand the ideas of both
contemporary fiction and feminism to new fronts. Moving from the fantastic to
the futuristic, subtle to surreal, these stories will provoke thoughts and emotions
about feminism like no other book available today. Other contributors include
Anne Richter, Carol Emshwiller, Eleanor Arnason, Hiromi Goto, Joanna Russ,
Karin Tidbeck, Kelley Eskridge, Kelly Barnhill, Kit Reed, L. Timmel Duchamp,
Leena Krohn, Leonora Carrington, Pamela Sargent, Rose Lemberg, Susan Palwick,
Tanith Lee, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Vandana Singh.
