Getting students more and more online is the new buzz-word here at the
Center for Research on Women. It's why we got a nifty grant to buy us a
well-stocked computer lab (something that a techie like me drools over).
I tend to think that part of the reason why more feminist science fiction
isn't being created is because girls are still taught at an early age that
technology is a "boys-only world". I mean, look at a lot of feminist
science fiction that is out there. From what I've read, it's very
low-tech. A lot of primitive colonies, a lot of ecologically-based
"natural" habitats, etc.
It's almost as if feminist science fiction writers are continuing the
stereotype of technology being a male field by making their works as
technologically incapable.
Maybe it's just what I've seen. Our Center's library is notorious for
rarely adding new books...
