Sisters of the Revolution

Sisters of the Revolution
A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology
Edited by Ann VanderMeer and Jeff VanderMeer
Sisters of the Revolution gathers a highly curated selection of feminist speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more) chosen by one
of the most respected editorial teams in speculative literature today, the
award-winning Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Including stories from the 1970s
to the present day, the collection seeks to expand the conversation about
feminism while engaging the reader in a wealth of imaginative ideas.
From the literary heft of Angela Carter to the searing power of Octavia
Butler, Sisters of the Revolution gathers daring examples of speculative
fiction’s engagement with feminism. Dark, satirical stories such as Eileen
Gunn’s “Stable Strategies for Middle Management” and the disturbing horror of James Tiptree Jr.’s “The Screwfly Solution” reveal the charged intensity at work in the field. Including new, emerging voices like Nnedi Okorafor
and featuring international contributions from Angelica Gorodischer and
many more, Sisters of the Revolution seeks to expand the ideas of both
contemporary fiction and feminism to new fronts. Moving from the fantastic
to the futuristic, the subtle to the surreal, these stories will provoke thoughts
and emotions about feminism like no other book available today.
Contributors include: Angela Carter, Angelica Gorodischer, Anne Richter,
Carol Emshwiller, Eileen Gunn, Eleanor Arnason, Hiromi Goto, James
Tiptree Jr., Joanna Russ, Karin Tidbeck, Kelley Eskridge, Kelly Barnhill,
Kit Reed, L. Timmel Duchamp, Leena Krohn, Leonora Carrington, Nnedi
Okorafor, Octavia Butler, Pamela Sargent, Rose Lemberg, Susan Palwick,
Tanith Lee, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Vandana Singh.
