In 1959, at the age of 22, Joanna Russ published her first science
fiction story, "Nor Custom Stale," in "The Magazine of Science
Fiction and Fantasy," In the forty-five years since, Russ has
continued to write some of the most popular, creative, and
important novels and stories in science fiction. She was a central
figure, along with contemporaries Ursula K. Le Guin and James
Tiptree, in revolutionizing science fiction in the 1960s and 1970s,
and her 1970 novel, "The Female Man," is widely regarded as one of
the most successful and influential depictions of a feminist utopia
in the entire genre.
"The Country You Have Never Seen" gathers Joanna Russ's most
important essays and reviews, revealing the vital part she played
over the years in the never-ending conversation among writers and
fans about the roles, boundaries, and potential of science fiction.
Spanning her entire career, the collection shines a light on Russ's
role in the development of new wave science fiction and feminist
science fiction, while at the same time providing fascinating
insight into her own development as a writer.
