The Postion Of Women In Science Fiction

Abstract

Science fiction always reflects a typical attitude, and the worlds that provide settings for the stories and fiction have therefore tended to be ones in which men provide the important part of the action, and women, when they are not ignored, are primarily cast in traditional roles of wife and mother. However, modern writers, many of whom are women, are increasingly exploring probable future situations with women in positive roles. The insights portrayed in this genre can therefore become increasingly important in providing relevant images for the future. In science fiction, women are not only underestimated,- but are significantly less likely to be the main character or to represent a strong role of a female protagonist. The women in science fiction more often than not assume a caring or passive role and are less likely to be played as experts in their careers than male characters. In the research paper, I intend to show the role and the position of women in the genre of science fiction as a writer or as a character of fiction.
