library logo: black and white text reads Community Lending Library. To the right of the text there is an open book with a pair of glasses on it.
Here at the library, we're spending the summer reading feminist sci-fi. We'll be meeting in Portland to discuss Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy on June 21st. Then we'll be discussing Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler on August 16th. If you're in Portland, come to our book clubs! If you can't be here in person, perhaps you'll consider joining us from afar as we read some of the staples in feminist science fiction.

What are your feminist sci-fi picks? Let us know in the comments!
