Women in Science Fiction.
Bainbridge, William Sims
Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v8 n10 p1081-93 Oct 1982
Data on women readers and authors indicated that: (1) women write more heroic fantasy and politically liberal science fiction than hard science fiction (physical science and technology), (2) women readers like hard science fiction less than men, and (3) many women authors use their fiction to advocate social change from a feminist perspective.
