It delves into their engagement with the ways in which science shapes the world portrayed in these works. The study spans from Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland (1918) to N.K. Jemisin's The City We Became (2020).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout her exploration, Debra Benita Shaw examines the re-imagination of gender and race that characterizes women's literary crafting of new worlds. She introduces fresh interpretations of classic texts such as Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, analyzing these novels in the context of their adaptations to new media formats in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat emerges from this analysis is a persistent focus on how scientific ideas can be leveraged to challenge existing social structures and advocate for change. Women, Science, and Fiction Revisited offers valuable insights into the ways in which women writers have responded to the evolving landscape of science and technology, using fiction as a platform to explore and challenge societal norms and expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 383g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031251702\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2nd ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Debra Benita Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44172523307258,"sku":"9783031251702","price":93.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_74cf5a37-36c1-4485-a34e-4b5f00aa8578.jpg?v=1681590342","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/women-science-and-fiction-revisited-9783031251702","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
