Abstract

The article features book author J. K. Ulrich and her views on gender inequality in the science fiction literary genre. Ulrich observes that there is a scarcity of women authors or females as characters in science fiction literature, which she said was pioneered by women starting in 1818 with Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." She believes that there is a need to challenge gender biases in this genre and encourage other authors and librarians to help in this endeavor.
