Partners in wonder : women and the birth of science fiction, 1926-1965
Eric Leif Davin (Author)
"Partners in Wonder presents, for the first time, a complete bibliography of every story published by women in science fiction magazines from 1926 to 1965 and brief biographies on 133 of these women writers. It is thus the most comprehensive source of information on early science fiction writers available and will be of great importance to scholars of women's studies, popular culture, and English literature, as well as science fiction."--Jacket
