SF Literary Event

Feminist Science Fiction event to be held in New York City

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 11, 2004 -- On October 14, 2004, Bluestockings Bookstore (172 Allen St., New York, NY) will be hosting an evening of feminist science fiction. Ellen Datlow (editor, scifi.com) will MC the event with readings from Carol Emshwiller (Carmen Dog, The Mount), Marleen Barr (Feminist Fabulation, Oy Pioneer!), Nancy Jane Moore (Imagination Fully Dilated, Imaginings), and Sue Lange (Tritcheon Hash (sf satire)). Feminist sf, an offshoot of the larger science fiction genre, questions the gender roles and stereotypes we live under today and, looking to the future, offers alternatives to our current social constructs. Emshwiller, Barr, Moore, and Lange will provide a taste of what this innovative and unique branch of science fiction offers.

There is no charge for admission and there's a good chance that refreshments will be served. Come participate in an alternate view of the future.
