Description:

Women of Science Fiction is a powerful collection of 18 classic stories by the pioneering women who helped shape the future of science fiction. Long before the genre was dominated by familiar names, these authors were asking daring questions about time, identity, power, technology, and what it means to be human. From Mary Shelley’s meditation on immortality in The Mortal Immortal to Leigh Brackett’s sense of wonder in The Moon That Vanished, these stories span decades of imagination. You’ll encounter sharp social satire, moral dilemmas, emotional depth, and bold speculative ideas that still resonate today. Writers like Andre Norton, Evelyn E. Smith, Lynn Venable, Katherine MacLean, and Miriam Allen DeFord bring a wide range of voices—sometimes humorous, sometimes dark, always human. Whether it’s time slipping away, alien encounters that reveal human flaws, or futures shaped by unexpected choices, each story leaves a strong impression. This collection isn’t just a celebration of overlooked talent—it’s a reminder that women have always been central to science fiction from its earliest days. Duration - 9h 54m. Author - Leigh Brackett. Narrator - Scott Miller. Published Date - Tuesday, 21 January 2025. Copyright - © 2025 Scott Miller ©.
