Kobiety i kobiecość w fantastyce naukowej

Abstract

The article contains a short summary of women's presence in science fiction genre. As the author suggests, it is impossible to isolate the problem, just because women were present in the genre from its very beginning, following the requirement of creating a complex fictitious world. The possible world does always involve or imply an image of sex and gender, even if an imagined society is genderless. And sometimes the creation becomes very bold, because science fiction seems to be subversive in its nature. It should be noted, that there is distinction between women writing science fiction and the image of women in science fiction genre. Feminism is the crucial movement when it comes to the analysis of both aspects.
