Feminist Science Fiction’s Sartorial Spaces is a collection of critical essays consisting of established critical voices and cutting-edge new generation fresh perspectives across feminist theory, science fiction, and fashion. This book brings science fiction to bear upon the limiting impact clothing still has upon women. Science fiction literature can envision how yet-to-be-designed clothes can unequivocally signal female power and this volume argues that it is time to turn to science fiction to lead the way in making empowering female attire real. This book is for scholars and students who are interested in the interplay between fashion and science fiction.
