Produktbeschreibung
This book is the first to offer an in-depth scholarly study of Mexican women writers of science fiction and highlight their innovative contributions to the growth and development of the genre in Mexico. By conducting close readings of twenty short stories authored by Mexican women from the 1950s to the present, Manickam reveals what women writers can do with science fiction that they cannot with "more traditional genres", what new paradigms of female agency are apparent in science fiction, and the insights science fiction provide us regarding Mexican women's negotiations with modernity. In so doing, he demonstrates how Mexican women writers reimagine traditional icons of science fiction to creatively explore what it means to be a modern woman relinquishing traditional feminine roles to enter new technology-informed domains once occupied almost solely by men.
