 | | Striving for compression, Russ's short stories are dense and delightfully perverse twistings of generic conventions: a lesbian gothic tale, for example, and a ghost story in which a daughter learns to mother herself. | | | Russ has worked mainly in the sf short story during the subsequent two decades, publishing three collections: Extraordinary People (1984), The Zanzibar Cat (1984), and The Hidden Side of the Moon (1987). | | | Russ came out about 1969, the subject of her only nonscience fiction novel On Strike Against God (1980). |

| | Joanna Russ |
| | One strength of the book for those who want to fill in the gaps in their knowledge of feminist history is that Russ is extremely well-read in her subject, and taken to extensively quoting the arguments and theories of other feminist thinkers. | | | Joanna Russ's classic 1970s SF novel features four women from alternative Earths that each have very different relations between the sexes. | | | She has also included an enormous bibliography of books and pamphlets for further reading.Russ is both sassy and well-informed--just the kind of woman from whom a 90's feminist might take some lessons. |

| | In an interview in 1984, Russ remarked that the genre of science fiction generally lends itself to "radical thought" because "it is about things that have not happened and do not happen" ("Dialogue" 29).[7] Yet the formal experimentations of The Female Man are exceptionally radical, even by the standards of science fiction. | | | By illuminating these dynamics, The Female Man lays bare the ideological tangle from which a crucial present-day formulation of postindustrialism as the "feminization of work" was born; in these terms, I will suggest the ways that Russ's text historicizes and complicates Donna Haraway's conception of contemporary female workers as "cyborgs." 5. | | | Jeannine, the most benighted of all, struggles feebly throughout the text to imagine some other role for herself than the one of wife-and-mother that she feels thrust upon her both by her family and her society. |

| | Feminist SFF & Utopia: Reviews: Joanna Russ |
| | Whileaway is engagingly detailed in bits and pieces throughout the book; the first-person narrator switches from character to character with occasional intrusions by the author; Russ jumps from genre to genre (indeed, the label "utopia" is reductive); and there's good sex to be had, both lesbian and robotic. | | | In 1969 Russ began work on her best-known novel, The Female Man, but it was not published until 1975. | | | She hails from the utopia Whileaway, a world in which all the men were killed off centuries ago in a plague (or, in a different version of the story, a war). |

| | Così come i mondi utopici di Jeannine, Janet e Jael si rivelano tutti dei parziali fallimenti, delle ipotesi incomplete, il progetto "Female man" si scontra con sè stesso, con la propria identità di testo che va alla ricerca di situazioni nuove con mezzi antiquati, e fortemente contaminato dallo stesso virus che vorrebbe combattere. | | | Joanna RUSS, FEMALE MAN (Female man), Nord, Milano, 1989 | | | La Russ ben sottolinea i termini della questione femminile, che risiedono, più che nel contrasto sessista e sessuofobo, nella difficoltà di ridefinire un ruolo comunicativo attivo dell'universo femminile, in quel continuo atto linguistico che è la realtà del divenire delle cose. |

| | Janna Russ: We Who Are About To Die |
| | Russ sees death not as the sudden endpoint of corporeal life, nor as the entry to some religious afterlife, but as a process that can teach us as much as anything else in life, if we allow ourselves to quiet down our frantic survival instincts and learn. | | | Though not having a hope of rescue and survival is a hideously depressing situation, Russ asks the reader to consider that quality of life should extend all the way to the final moment, that pointless busywork, even in the service of survival, may only be the ruination of our passing. | | | This difficult road demands that we not be paralyzed by our fear or blinded by the imperative to continue living in the face of inevitability, but to,ironically,keep living through the process of our death, to learn something in that last, final time. |

| | In Joanna Russ's, The Female Man, the character of Jeannine Dadier is used to explore a revolt against the patriarchal society. | | | Although I cannot equate characteristics of reality with the ones in fiction, I do feel that the placement of the Great Depression in Jeannine's society was deliberate - since this time period, in America, was characterized by a very strong governmental presence and the blatant oppression of working women. |

Specifically, Russ critiques the "straight mind"--heterosexual institutions that regulate gender--by showing how two representatives from "our world" respond to those institutions. |

| | The Female Man by Joanna Russ |
| | Jeannine lives in a world where the Great Depression never ended, Joanna is from a world much like our own, Janet is from a lesbian utopia, and the fourth woman (Jael) is from the future where women and men are literally warring with each other. | | | Both humorous and serious simultaneously, The Female Man explores notions of gender, politics, sexuality, and human rights, and while it is somewhat dated to our modern minds, it shines as an example of non-traditional storytelling and gives the reader an alternate view of what science fiction can be, much like Les Guérillères by Monique Wittig. | | | This quirky feminist classic was innovative for its challenging style of merging parallel histories and for its feminist politics. |
