Feminist Futures: 20th Century Feminist SF Novels
Sci-fi books from the 20th century that remagine gender or critique patriarchal ideas.
Sticking to novels written by non-male writers.
Since these are 20th century texts, they may present dated views.

Down With the (Female) Sickness
Books that highlight the ways gender roles have harmed women, often through assigning an inherent wickedness to the entire gender and using suffering or punishment to “liberate” women from our wickedness. Starting with The Yellow Wallpaper, in which Victorian standards for women expected purity and perfection. Imperfection, whether it be postpartum depression or strong opinions, was labeled as female hysteria and treated in a way that only further harmed women. Exploring empowerment & autonomy
