PFDW

Lisa Yaszek is one of my favorite interviews but her appearances with me have all to this point been on the Dickheads podcast. She is the Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech. She is the author of Galactic Suburbia: Recovering Women’s Science Fiction co-editor of Sisters of Tomorrow. Most importantly today she is the editor of two Library of America editions of The Future is Female. These are definitive anthologies that paint the history of women’s role in the writing of 20th century Science Fiction.

I interviewed her about the first Future is Female Vol 1 on DHP, she also joined us for panels on Cancel Culture, Scholars in Quarantine, and a panel on the work of Judith Merril. She is one of my favorite guests because the lady knows the genre, and the history, and every time I hear her on my podcast, lectures, or read her work I learn stuff. So buckle in!

In this interview we talk about the second volume of The Future is Female focused on the science fiction of second-wave feminists in the 1970s. We talk about the atmosphere in the era of SF, feminism, and more. We go story by story, author by author. I think it will greatly add to your experience if you read it. The two volumes of this series are must-read books for anyone interested in the history of the genre.
