To give a sense of scope: nearly 300 women entered the science fiction community between 1926 and 1940; about 300 more made their own contributions in 1940s, \u0026rsquo;50s, and \u0026rsquo;60s. I wanted to honor these genre pioneers by considering at least one story from all of them (and often many more); to put together an anthology that included both classics by science fiction luminaries and stories by women who were celebrated in their own time but then lost to history.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.wired.com\/beyond-the-beyond\/2018\/11\/women-writing-scientifiction-1930s\/\u0022\u003ERead the full article here.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe School of Literature, Media, and Communication is a unit of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"34559","created_gmt":"2018-11-29 21:59:40","changed_gmt":"2018-11-29 22:04:37","author":"pdemerritt3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"in solidarity","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/beyond-the-beyond\/2018\/11\/women-writing-scientifiction-1930s\/","dateline":{"date":"2018-11-29T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2018-11-29T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"605632":{"id":"605632","type":"image","title":"Lisa Yaszek","body":null,"created":"1524844207","gmt_created":"2018-04-27 15:50:07","changed":"1539181717","gmt_changed":"2018-10-10 14:28:37","alt":"Portrait photo of School of Literature, Media, and Communication professor Lisa Yaszek","file":{"fid":"230934","name":"Lisa Yaszek.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Lisa%20Yaszek.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Lisa%20Yaszek.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":554289,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Lisa%20Yaszek.jpg?itok=qw3DtcgN"}}},"media_ids":["605632"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1283","name":"School of Literature, Media, and Communication"}],"categories":[{"id":"151","name":"Policy, Social Sciences, and Liberal Arts"}],"keywords":[{"id":"11021","name":"Lisa Yaszek"},{"id":"167943","name":"School of Literature Media and Communication"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
