Rugged domesticity: Frontier mythology in post-Armageddon science fiction by women
Article Abstract:
Women science fiction writers worked through tensions in their novels about post-Armageddon futures in an imaginative way that belies the reputation of the 1950s as a period of conformity in women's literary and social history. It is argued that the works of these speculative women test the ideological constraints in innovative ways and are rich with intelligent and critical analyses of the relationship between savagery and civilization, on which the American domestic ideology depends.
