“Much like Asimov . . . Harris’ stories possess something of the eternal . . . They have retained their power to spark the imagination.” —Tangent Online
Science fiction has historically been seen as a man’s game, but from the very beginning, women have made their indelible mark on the genre. One of science fiction’s pioneers, Claire Winger Harris is credited as the first woman to publish under her own name in sci-fi magazines.
In Harris’s world, you’ll find gigantic insects, Martians looking to steal Earth’s water, and time travel to ancient Rome. Scholar Brad Ricca assembles ten of Harris's greatest short stories here, including “The Fifth Dimension,” “The Fate of the Poseidonia,” “The Menace of Mars,” and “The Vibrometer.” Their ideas are as fresh today as when Harris originally wrote them a century ago.
A wonderful collection by a little-known master of science fiction, this book will hold interest for feminist readers and scholars of sci-fi alike.
