Part of Belt's Revival Series and with an introduction by Brad Ricca. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScience fiction has historically been seen as a man's game, but from the very beginning, women have made their indelible mark on the genre. Alongside sci-fi pioneers like Mary Shelley and C. L. Moore, we should now add Clare Winger Harris, whose pulp stories in the early twentieth century paved the way for modern woman sci-fi writers such as Ursula K. Le Guin and Margaret Atwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Harris's world, you'll find gigantic insects, martians looking to steal Earth's water, and time travel to ancient Rome. Scholar Brad Ricca assembles ten of Harris's greatest short stories here, including \"The Fifth Dimension,\" \"The Fate of the Poseidonia,\" \"The Menace of Mars,\" and \"The Vibrometer.\" Their ideas are as fresh today as when Harris originally wrote them a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wonderful collection by a little-known master of science fiction, this book will hold interest for feminist readers and scholars of sci-fi alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrad Ricca\u003c\/b\u003e earned his Ph.D. in English from Case Western Reserve University, where he currently teaches.
