Partners in Wonder: Women and the Birth of Science Fiction, 1926-1965

Davin”s book should be essential reading for all in order to dispel the myth that there was a bias against women writers before the 1960s. Quite the opposite. Davin proves that the sf magazines were arguably the most liberal and most receptive of all of the pulps and that the sf fraternity welcomed the female contribution to the world.

Davin”s book is a fascinating and superbly researched look at an area where for too long anecdotal evidence has been accepted in place of facts. It is also a compelling examination of how ”common knowledge” may influence the choices people make, right down to coloring their perceptions of themselvessss — Dr. Jane Lindskold, Author of the Firekeeper Saga
