- Fiction – novels, short stories and poetry exploring the roles of women
- SF – science or speculative fiction (sci-fi, fantasy etc) is particularly attractive to many feminists because of the chance to read about characters in a world where our current gender/race/class hierarchy doesn’t hold hegemony (maybe).
- Some introductory Science Fiction for feminists from Rachel Swirsky at Aqueduct Press (inspired by this more advanced discussion of science fiction from a radical feminist perspective at I Blame The Patriarchy )
