Oh, lovely. Will be coming back to read these more in-depth later, but for now one of the passages that really spoke to me was Elizabeth's. What a perfect way to make it clear why this is so important.
I took a sci-fi class this summer taught by a woman who grew up on a native american pacifist-anarchist commune in Canada. XD Needless to say, it was a unique perspective on the genre, and she made sure to focus on POC, women-centric and queer literature. Ursula LeGuin is one of my favourites if you're talking about gender theory, and I strongly recommend "Dark Matter" (ed Sheree Thomas), an anthology of African diasporic sci-fi.
