Science fiction has long been a haven for lesbian writers, allowing
them to use the genre to discuss their marginalized status. This
critical work examines how lesbian authors have used the structures
and conventions of science fiction to embody characters,
relationships and other themes that relate to their experience as
the quintessential Other in the broader culture. Topics include
lesbian gothic, fantasy, science fiction, mixed genre texts and
historical background for the works discussed. A vital addition to
the scholarship on homosexuality and culture.
