These essays treat common themes and strategies in women's writing
about their different worlds. The range of subjects reaches from
Margaret Cavendish's 17th-century Blazing World of the North Pole,
to the "men-less" islands of the French writer Scudery; and from
the 18th- and 19th-century utopias of Shelley and Gaskell, to
science fiction pulps; finishing with the more contemporary
feminist fictions of Le Guin, Wittig, Piercy and Mitchison. This
collection aims to show that these fictions relate to one another
historically, and together amount to a literary tradition of
women's writing about a "better place".
