Feminist Science Fiction

Science fiction may be great at creating far-out worlds, alternate realities, and unimaginable futures, but for a genre that's celebrated for its creativity and inventive style, it sure does like one particular kind of protagonist: caucasian, heterosexual men. Despite the over-saturation of that story — the story of the white dude who saves the day and gets the girl — in the genre, there are some outstanding feminist science fiction books that give a much needed voice to the diverse women of the world.
