Summary Annotation <div>In 1959, at the age of 22, Joanna Russ published her first science fiction story, "Nor Custom Stale," in<i>The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy</i>. In the forty-five years since, Russ has continued to write some of the most popular, creative, and important novels and stories in science fiction. She was a central figure, along with contemporaries Ursula K. Le Guin and James Tiptree, in revolutionizing science fiction in the 1960s and 1970s, and her 1970 novel,<i>The Female Man,</i>is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential depictions of a feminist utopia in the entire genre.<br /><br /><i>The Country You Have Never Seen</i>gathers Joanna Russ's most important essays and reviews, revealing the vital part she played over the years in the never-ending conversation among writers and fans about the roles, boundaries, and potential of science fiction. Spanning her entire career, the collection shines a light on Russ's role in the development of new wave science fiction and feminist science fiction, while at the same time providing fascinating insight into her own development as a writer.</div>
