About this episode

This month, we welcome the Demographically Similar Jennys from the wonderful & charming Reading the End Podcast to Spectology to read Ann Leckie's newest book, The Raven Tower! ( ) The four of us discuss our past experiences reading both fantasy & science fiction, and how gender is used within those genres, as well as how it drives decisions about how to market those genres by the larger publishing industry. We couldn't have more well-read, fun, & knowledgeable guests for this discussion, so we really hope you enjoy this ep, and check out the Jennys' podcast as well. A great place to start would be Adrian's guest episode from last week: Works mentioned this episode include: * The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie * Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman * Frankenstein by Mary Shelley * The Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish * The Clewiston Test by Kate Wilhelm * NK Jemisin's 2018 Hugo Award speech (video embedded in article) (As always, links are at spectology.com if they don't show up in your podcatcher. And if I missed something mentioned in the episode, tweet at @spectologypod or @readingtheend and we'll find it for you.) --- We'd love to hear from you, either by chatting with us on twitter at @spectologypod , sending us an email at [redacted], or submitting the episode to r/printSF on reddit. We'll reply, and shout you out in the next podcast when we talk about your comment. And if you like the episode, subscribe at spectology.com or whever you listen to podcasts, and share it with your friends! Many thanks to Dubby J and Noah Bradley for doing our music and art.
