| Synopsis | Who hasn't wondered about the existence of other worlds and imagined how to discover them? Written in the first half of the twentieth century, the stories of Judith Merril, Zenna Henderson, Joanna Russ, Doris Pitkin Buck, Wilmar H. Shiras, C. L. Moore and Mildred Clingerman show possible ways to reach them. Whether through journeys that challenge the courage of their protagonists, the convergence of dimensions in everyday life at home, genetic mutations or hidden villages, these writers suggest that there are different universes that touch each other, that multiply the present but also the possibilities of the future. Alternate Worlds is the first volume of The Future is Woman!, an anthology edited by academic Lisa Yaszek that brings together stories by twenty-five American writers who found in science fiction a space of freedom to play with surprise and wonder, but also to experiment, dissent and confront social and political issues of their present. Over the course of four decades, these authors not only helped to build a literary genre from its foundations, but they also transformed it by developing complex characters, rethinking the relationship between men and women, humans and aliens, and asking how science and technology could reconfigure gender, sex, motherhood and survival, enabling new ways of living. Divided into three thematic volumes that bring together Yaszek's anthology, Almadía presents this collection for the first time in Spanish thanks to the translation by the Falsos Amigos collective. |
