Look at me! I'm *reading*!!
From Jeanne Gomoll's Introduction to Women of Other Worlds edited by Helen Merrick and Tess Williams:

...
Invention. That's what feminist science fiction is all about. We invent stories and role models and possibilities, that prepare us to leap barriers and scale heights no one has reached before, that prepare us to change the world.
Yeah, how much do I want to go to Wiscon right now?
