History of Joanna Russ

Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 3c3

Russ was a notable feminist writer in science fiction in the early 1970s, a time when women were just starting to enter the field. It can be fairly said that science fiction was (and to an extent is) a genre dominated by male authors, however Russ was one of the first authors to challenge the male dominance.
