Joanna Russ (1937–2011) is often described, along with
Philip K. Dick and Ursula K. Le Guin, as one of the breakout stars
of science fiction’s “new wave” of the 1960s and 1970s. She
taught at several prestigious universities and
published influential feminist literary criticism alongside
her fiction. In 1995, Russ received retrospective Tiptree Awards
(for the best explorations of sex and
gender in speculative fiction) for “When It Changed” and The
Female Man. She was posthumously inducted
into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame and named a
Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Grand Master.
Nicole Rudick, a former editor of The Paris Review, has
written on art, literature, and comics for the New York Review of
Books, the New Yorker, the New York Times, and Artforum. Her most
recent book is What Is Now Known Was Once Only Imagined: An
(Auto)biography of Niki de Saint Phalle.
