- Summary:
- The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction is a lively story of the role of women and feminism in the development of American science fiction in its formative years of the mid-twentieth century. Beginning in 1926 and moving through the 1990s, Justine Larbalestier examines science fiction's engagement with questions of femininity, masculinity, sex and sexuality as it emerged in the stories, letters and articles in science fiction magazines and fanzines.
