Description:
In this major study of the work of Joanna Russ, Cortiel gives a clear introduction to the major feminist issues relevant to Russ's work and assesses its development. Although she deals principally with Russ's novels, Cortiel also examines her short stories, and the focus on critically neglected texts is a particularly valuable feature of the study. Russ's work is placed in the context of other feminist speculative fiction writers as well as "traditional" science fiction, and the author explores the specifically American myths Russ's fiction uses.
