Feminist Fabulations: The Speculative Fiction of Scottish Women Writers 1860 - 1980

该项目将通过四位作家的作品描绘苏格兰女权主义投机小说的历史，包括科幻小说和幻想（SFF），这四位作家分别是：伊莎贝拉·菲维·梅奥（1843-1914）、弗洛伦斯·迪克西夫人（1855-1905）、娜奥米·米奇森（1897-1999）和玛戈·贝内特（1912-1980）。根据每位作家的生活经历，该研究将在深刻的社会变革时期（1860-1980）记录他们的SFF。每一个例子都体现了独特的女权主义想象与激进主义历史上的一个关键时刻之间的独特联系。这个项目的紧迫性在于对这段文学史进行批判性的修复，将思辨的想象力作为引导女权主义斗争的一种手段。

This project will chart a history of Scottish feminist speculative fiction, including Science Fiction and Fantasy (SFF), through the work of four writers: Isabella Fyvie Mayo (1843-1914), Lady Florence Dixie (1855-1905), Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999) and Margot Bennett (1912-1980). Rooted in each writer's lived experience, the research will chronicle their SFF across a period of profound social transformation (1860-1980). Each exemplifies a unique connection between a distinct feminist imaginary and a juncture in activist history. The urgency of the project lies in the critical restoration of this literary history, establishing the speculative imagination as a device for navigating feminist struggles.
