About The Science Of Herself Plus The Motherhood Statement And The Pelican Bar And More Exuberant Than Is Strictly Tasteful Outspoken Interview And The Further Adventures Of The Invisible Man
Widely respected in the so-called mainstream for her New York Times bestselling novels, Karen Joy Fowler is also a formidable, often controversial, and always exuberant presence in Science Fiction. Here she debuts a provocative new story written especially for this series. Set in the days of Darwin, The Science of Herself is a marvelous hybrid of SF and historical fiction: the almost-true story of England's first female paleontologist who took on the Victorian old-boy establishment armed with only her own fierce intelligenceand an arsenal of dino bones.
