Joanna Russ

1937 - 2011



"Long before I became a feminist in any explicit way, I had turned from writing love stories about women in which women were losers, and adventure stories about men in which the men were winners, to writing adventure stories about a woman in which the woman won. It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life." — Joanna Russ

"There are plenty of images of women in science fiction. There are hardly any women." — Joanna Russ
