Review Quotes
Professor Jane Donawerth, University of Maryland
"Patrick B. Sharp’s study deftly places late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century utopias by women and women’s science fiction in the early pulp magazines in the context of Darwinian feminism. This insightful analysis allows us to see these women not only as contributing domestic and gender issues to the SF tradition, but also as participating in scientific debate. Elegantly written, solidly researched, perceptive in its interpretations of individual stories, this book is one that SF scholars, as well as many fans, will want to read and re-read."
Professor Sherryl Vint, University of California
"Darwinian Feminism and Early Science Fiction transforms our understanding of women’s early science fiction. It demonstrates that fiction by women such as Clare Winger Harris and Leslie F. Stone grappled with the implications of evolutionary theory as intricately as did H. G. Wells. An essential read in the history of gender, science, and fiction."
