The Future Is Female! Volume Two, The 1970s: More Classic Science Fiction Storie s by Women by Lisa Yaszek Pdf

Go back to The Future Is Female in this all new collection of wildly entertaining stories by the trailblazing feminist writers who transformed American science fiction in the 1970s In the 1970s, feminist authors created a new mode of science fiction in defiance of the “baboon patriarchy”—Ursula Le Guin’s words—that had long dominated the genre, imagining futures that are still visionary. In this sequel to her groundbreaking 2018 anthology The Future is Female!: 25 Classic Science Fiction Stories by Women from Pulp Pioneers to Ursula K. Le Guin, SF-expert Lisa Yaszek offers a time machine back to the decade when far-sighted rebels changed science fiction forever with stories that made female community, agency, and sexuality central to the American future. Here are twenty-three wild, witty, and wonderful classics that dramatize the liberating energies of the 1970s: Sonya Dorman, “Bitching It” (1971) Kate Wilhelm, “The Funeral” (1972) Joanna Russ, “When It Changed” (1972) NEBULA AWARD Miriam Allen deFord, “A Way Out”(1973) Vonda N. McIntyre, “Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand” (1973) NEBULA James Tiptree, Jr., “The Girl Who Was Plugged In” (1973) HUGO AWARD Kathleen Sky, “Lament of the Keeku Bird” (1973) Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Day Before the Revolution” (1974) NEBULA & LOCUS AWARD Eleanor Arnason, “The Warlord of Saturn’s Moons” (1974) Kathleen M. Sidney, “The Anthropologist” (1975) Marta Randall, “A Scarab in the City of Time” (1975) Elinor Busby, “A Time to Kill” (1977) Raccoona Sheldon, “The Screwfly Solution” (1977) NEBULA AWARD Pamela Sargent, “If Ever I Should Leave You” (1974) Joan D. Vinge, “View from a Height” (1978) M. Lucie Chin, “The Best Is Yet to Be” (1978) Lisa Tuttle, “Wives” (1979) Connie Willis, “Daisy, In the Sun” (1979)

Storm Fairy by Osamu Tezuka Pdf

Storm fairy is a collection of three short stories by legendary manga-ka Osamu Tezuka. In Storm Fairy, an empress flees her burning castle to the nearby forest where she encounters a mischievous forest fairy who grants her wish, for a seemingly small price. It’s not until much later, after she’s given birth to her daughter Ruri, that the empress realizes the true weight of her deal with the fairy. Now the princess, with a face as ugly as sin, must live the rest of her life from behind a mask. When a malcontent discovers Princess Ruri's curse, he plots to overthrow the emperor by masquerading his own daughter as the princess, mask and all. Ruri also meets a lowly ronin and a beautiful fairy who make it their mission to return her to her rightful place on the throne. In “Kokeshi Detective Agency,” fearless little Pako goes around solving spooky mysteries while her dog Moll does his best to protect her. Oddly enough, Taro, Pako’s scaredy-cat older brother, is forced to accompany Pako on all these scary adventures. In “Pink Angel,” a sunset cloud named Pink spends an awfully lot of time on the surface helping those who are unhappy or in need. Unfortunately, the rainclouds Sir Brown and Sepia don’t take kindly to Pink’s meddling.

Wishing for Them by Ellabee Andrews Pdf

As a fairy living in a small town, my goals are pretty simple: go to the community college, own a coffee shop, and live my life drama-free. But all that changes when my name is chosen to receive a full scholarship to Aradia, the most prestigious supernatural academy in the world. On a dare, I had entered, never expecting to be chosen, yet here I am. Surrounded by the best of the best, I feel like the small fish in an ocean full of sharks, until three handsome guys and my sexy Succubus roommate come to my rescue. With new friends and the real Fairy Godmother as my mentor, I may just survive this, that is if someone doesn't kill me first. So much for living drama-free.

A Do-it-yourself Dystopia by Steven Carter Pdf

The essence of life in an oligarchy like George Orwell presents in '1984' is that freedom of choice is virtually non-existent. But what happens when so many trivial and meaningless choices inundate a culture such as our own and freedom itself becomes devalued? In 'A Do-It-Yourself Dystopia', through a variety of essays, Steven Carter addresses this and other issues in a wide-ranging search for hidden oligarchies of the American self.
