Beginning with Charlotte Perkins Gilman's \u003ci\u003eHerland\u003c\/i\u003e (1918) and ending with N K Jemisin's \u003ci\u003eThe City We Became \u003c\/i\u003e(2020), Debra Benita Shaw explores the re-imagination of gender and race that characterises women's literary crafting of new worlds. Along the way, she introduces new readings of classics like Ursula Le Guin's \u003ci\u003eThe Left Hand of Darkness \u003c\/i\u003eand Margaret Atwood's \u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, examining the original novels in the context of their adaptation to new media formats in the twenty-first century. What this reveals is a consistent preoccupation with how scientific ideas can be employed to challenge existing social structures and argue for change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-03-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031251733\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-25171-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 181\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46795444912268,"sku":"9783031251733","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031251733.jpg?v=1774036975","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031251733","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
