These exceptional stories show that science fiction is no longer a field completely reserved for men.

'Partners in Wonder' explores our knowledge of women and science fiction between 1936 and 1965. It describes the distinctly different form of science fiction that females produced, one that was both more utopian and more empathetic than that of their male counterparts.

Science Fiction stories by women from the 1970s to the present. Among them are Sheila Finch's Reichs-Peace, in which Germany won World War II and Hitler's son is an astronaut, Lisa Goldstein's Thaw, on aliens who borrow the bodies of people in suspended animation, and Pat Murphy's Rachel in Love, on a girl's brain in the body of a monkey.
