Hi, all. I'm brand new to the list, brand new to women's studies (just heard
about Third Wave last week... USA Today doesn't report these things!?) so
please bear with me. I joined up because I'm incurably into sf, and was dying
to hear some feminist perspectives on what's been traditionally
male-dominated (okay, that was a big "duh!", as in, what isn't, right?)
Has anyone read "The Evening and the Morning and the Night," a short story by
Octavia Butler? I'd be interested to hear people's
impressions/interpretations of gender roles as they relate to characters with
the disease at the Institute, and the "other" as people with the disease.
(Sorry I don't have the anthology in front of me, or I'd name the disease...
it's just this story's been on my mind since I saw all the posts about
Octavia.)
Hope Cascio
