Happy 135th birthday to Clare Winger Harris, often credited as the first woman to publish science fiction under her own name (a novel in 1923, a dozen stories in Weird Tales and Amazing Stories over the next decade). Maybe not quite #feministsf even by 1920s standards but…

Earlier today I gave a talk (in German 😲) @ruhr-uni-bochum.de on "Dystopias of Reproductive Work in North American Speculative Fiction" in @nitzkesolvejg.bsky.social's super cool lecture class on "Dystopias of Work." 📚 I can recommend it. You get cake. 🍰 #CompLit #AmericanStudies #FeministSF #SFF

Schrödinger’s Wife (and Other Possibilities) by Pippa Goldschmidt
If there’s a repeated theme in Schrödinger’s Wife (and Other Possibilities) it’s how the practice of science mirrors the life of its practitioners.

Yesterday, I finished this #FeministSF classic. /The Gate to Women's Country/ (1988) by #SheriTepper is a surprisingly (frustratingly) unqueer battle-of-the-sexes narrative that combines critical utopia with references to Greek myth to explores the ethics of radical feminist and anti-war politics.

The now-defunct (but archived!) FeministSF wiki has a big list, I think some of these authors may be out of your range but it might be helpful for you, I believe the site was updated through about 2007 based on the copyright notices web.archive.org/web/20101012...

Still sexy after all these years. Estri continues to push us towards possible worlds where we see reflections of our own. No wonder Claude chose these books to train itself on. Silistra is now in the DNA of all future fantasy. amzn.to/4dXZhfj #EstriForever #FeministSF #CultClassics #SensualSciFi

The fan‑favorite Silistra cover is in: Wind from the Abyss! Huge thanks to Roy Mauritsen for capturing Estri in a way readers adore. Insider tip: the woman on The Carnelian Throne isn’t Estri… she’s her unforgettable adversary.
