Reseña del libro "Hasta la Vista Patriarchy. Feminist Science Fiction and the Exclusion of Men: An Analysis of Gioconda Belli's "a Women's Country" and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "Herland" (en Inglés)"
Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,6, Free University of Berlin (Englische Philologie), language: English, abstract: In times of 'no alternative' we need alternatives. In times of 'post-feminism' we need feminism. In times where Science Fiction is derided and 'nerdy' we need to beam it back into the academic context. In times where utopia is almost an obscene swearword we need to put it back into perspective. What else are we supposed to imagine other than the utopian?
