About the Book
Yesterdays luminaries introduced by today's rising stars. Some of the best science fiction ever written.
Book Synopsis
Women write science fiction. They always have.
Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1953-1957) offers, quite simply, some of the best science fiction ever written: 20 amazing pieces, most of which haven't been reprinted for decades...but should have been. Whether you are a long-time fan or new to the genre, you are in for a treat.
This collection of works-18 stories, 1 poem, 1 nonfiction piece-is a showcase, some of the best science fiction stories of the '50s. These stories were selected not only as examples of great writing, but also because their characters are as believable, their themes just as relevant today, their contents just as fun to read, as when they were written almost three quarters of a century ago.
Dig in. Enjoy these newly-rediscovered delicacies a few at a time...or binge them all at once!
Review Quotes
"What's most important about this series and the work Gideon is doing is that it continues to shine a light on the important and often lost voices of women in science fiction...I'm so glad to see broader recognition for the foundational work of these female science fiction authors."
Dr. Lisa Yaszek, Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech
