About the Book

Dr. Marleen S. Barr, a feminist science fiction scholar who received the Science Fiction Research Association Award for Lifetime Contributions to Science Fiction Scholarship, counters Trump administration political abomination and its aftermath with science fiction absurdity. Evoking her fellow native New Yorker Mel Brooks' sarcasm, her laugh out loud alternative history tales are filled with female extraterrestrials who want to replace alternative facts with truth and justice. Barr's feminist power fantasies transport readers to an egalitarian humanistic political milieu located far far away from Trumpism. Prepare to enter speculative worlds where anything which opposes undemocratic policy is possible.

Praise for Marleen S. Barr:

  • "What are you going to do with a rising tide of fascism threatening just about every decent, progressive aspect of life in America? Wash it out of your mind, at least for a bit of time, with a book chock full of incisive, fantastical humor by a master of the craft. Highly recommended when the news is really bad, which is just about every day now." -Paul Levinson, Professor, Fordham University Department of Communication and Media Studies; former president of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association; and author of The Silk Code, The Plot to Save Socrates, and It's Real Life
  • "Move over Wonder Woman, Super Girl, and She-Hulk, there's a new superhero protagonist in town: science fiction studies Professor Sondra Lear! Along with her super feminist alien gal-pals from the planets Estrogen, Matriarch, and Menopause - and strategic assists from Earthborn feminists past, present and future, plus a bevy of waxy dead presidents - Professor Lear reminds us that sometimes the best way to fight a Code-Orange existential threat to democracy is to laugh in its face. A wild ride through the creative imagination of real-world super feminist Dr. Marleen S. Barr, who insists we can have better futures if we are willing to dream them. Highly recommended!" - Lisa Yaszek, Regents' Professor of Science Fiction Studies, School of Literature, Media, and Communication, Georgia Tech; former president of the Science Fiction Research Association; and author of The Self Wired: Technology and Subjectivity in Contemporary American Narrative, Galactic Suburbia: Recovering Women's Science Fiction, and Sisters of Tomorrow: The First Women of Science Fiction
  • "Marleen S. Barr responds to the national nightmare of Trump's presidency with a collection of 'feminist resistant Trump fiction' spiced with New York Jewish humor. Here is your chance to enjoy seeing Trump's egregious lies and misogynistic blustering subjected to appropriate corrective interventions by super-powered extraterrestrial feminists." - John Rieder, Professor Emeritus, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Department of Communication; recipient of the Science Fiction Research Association Award for Lifetime Contributions to Science Fiction Scholarship; and author of Colonialism and the Emergence of Science Fiction, Science Fiction and the Mass Culture Genre System, and Speculative Epistemologies: An Eccentric Account of SF from the 1960s to the Present
