Russ, Joanna. The Crossing Press, 1985. Softbound. Design by Martha Jean Waters. An intimate of Samuel R. Delany and James Tiptree Jr. (Tiptree once epistolized, "Do you imagine that anyone with half a functional neuron can read your work and not have his fingers smoked by the bitter, multi-layered anger in it?'), Russ was an innovator of feminist sci-fi and was one of the first academics to lend legitimacy to slash fiction. This collection, dedicated to Australian scholar Dale Spender, compiles Russ's essays, including several of her influential post–second-wave takes on pornography.
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Only the gentlest of shelf-wear. 119 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
