i-fought-space: ayellowbirds: jellyfishjulie: mamia-mantra: jellyfishjulie: ladies invented your favorite science fiction subgenres Margaret Cavendish - Mary Shelley - Emma Orczy - Catherine Lucille Moore need more WOC on this board You’re right! Pauline Hopkins - Begum Rokeya - Octavia E. Butler in other words, ladies invented science fiction, period. Are we really just supposed to memorize the names and genres? No substance beyond that? I don’t want to regurgitate the same bullshit I was supposed to memorize about white guys with little to no context or meaning behind it. Personally, I think it does these women a massive injustice. So! I’ve tried my best to make this list with ONLY free-to-read works. Have fun!
