- Description
- Eric Davin presents a complete bibliography of stories published by women in science fiction magazines in the U.S. and the U.K. from 1926 to 1965, and brief biographies on 133 of these writers. The larger part of this book is on the history of early science fiction and the role of women fans and writers. He concludes that, contrary to accepted interpretations, women were influential in pulp science fiction from the birth of the genre.
