Bøker av Marleen S. Barr

Archaeologists and anthropologists discover other civilizations; science fiction writers invent them. In this collection of her major essays, Marleen Barr argues that feminist science fiction writers contribute to postmodern literary canons with radical alternatives to mainstream patriarchal society.

Oy Pioneer! follows feminist Jewish wit and professor Sondra Lear as she makes her inimitable way through the world of learning. As if Mel Brooks and Erica Jong had joined forces to recreate ""Sex in the City"" for the intellectual set, this novel mixes feminist and Jewish humour with satire.
