Mexican Women Writers of Science Fiction: The Post-Female Novum
ISBN-13: 9783031862816 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 200 str.
This book is the first to offer an in-depth scholarly study of Mexican women writers of science fiction highlighting their innovative contributions to the growth and development of the genre in Mexico. By analyzing more than two hundred short stories and a collection of novels written by Mexican women since the 1950s, Manickam examines 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 what insights science fiction allow us regarding Mexican women's negotiations with modernity. In so doing, he will demonstrate 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.
