Heute kam frische #Buchpost vom #MemorandaVerlag Besonders freue ich mich auf den dritten Band der #Weltenschöpfer von #CharlesPlatt darunter mit der Übersetzung des #JoannaRuss -Artikels durch @nisjasper und den über #AliceSheldon , übertragen von @frankboehmert

“I do not think that people who take the essential problem facing women to be a power struggle are working for, or with, the women’s movement. They have adopted the enemy's method, and therefore the enemy’s goal (supremacism). Power is not freedom. Vengeance is not justice. Do we all have to sit here writing John Wayne’s wetdreams with the sexes reversed?”

Ursula K. Le Guin
Khatru issues 3 & 4 (1975)
symposium on Women in Science Fiction

Le Guin getting a little irritated with Joanna Russ and others. Joanna responds a little later. The symposium was carried out via the distribution of letters and really is quite a brilliant read. A PDF can be found at fanac.org https://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Khatru/Khatru03.pdf

I'm a little cool on Joanna Russ, but this is very, very good.

Fanac is a real rabbit hole. This is Khatru 3 & 4 (1975) devoted to an extended discussion of #feminism and #sciencefiction. It contains contributions/dialogs between #SuzyMcKeeCharnas #SamuelRDelany #VirginiaKidd #UrsulaKLeguin #VondaNMcIntyre #RaylynMoore #JoannaRuss #JamesTiptreeJr #LuiseWhite #KateWilhelm #ChelseaQuinnYarbro #JeffreyDSmith.

It appears to be the backbone of the brilliant chapter on #feminism in "James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon" by Julie Phillips

@stjaerna #FrederikPohl working as a technical writer for politicians and organizations for a big chunk of his life explains a lot, I think. He delivered.

On the other hand, working as an editor for Bantam, he published books like #Dhalgen by #SamuelRDelany and #TheFemaleMen by #JoannaRuss, and being a magazine editor he bought a whole lot of New Wave stories.

Pohl definitely has not been a gatekeeper (pun intended).
