Volume 1 features 29 essay-style chapters that provide broad topic surveys, like music, genre poetry, and comics. Volume 2 offers 230 shorter encyclopedia-style entries. The first book to chart this underrecognized scholarly territory, it broadens work begun by Judith Little in Feminist Philosophy and Science Fiction (2007). While the set lacks a supporting topic chronology, it is a landmark work that belongs in large literature collections and engaging enough for casual readers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e-- \" \n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"[T]his is a work of impressive scope on an increasingly popular, important subject.
