Description

This analysis of cyberpunk science fiction written between 1981 and 2003 positions women's cyberpunk in the larger cultural discussion of feminist issues.

It traces the origins of the genre, reviews critical reactions, and outlines the ways in which women's cyberpunk advances specifically feminist points of view.

Novels are examined within their cultural contexts; their content is compared to broader controversies within contemporary feminism, and their themes are revealed as reflections of feminist discourse at the end of the 20th century. Chapters cover topics such as globalisation, virtual reality, cyborg culture, environmentalism, religion, motherhood and queer rights.

Firsthand interviews with feminist cyberpunk authors are provided, revealing both their motivations for writing and their experiences with fans.

The study treats feminist cyberpunk as a unique vehicle for examining contemporary women's issues and analyses feminist science fiction as a complex source of political ideas.
