Considering The Female Man by Joanna Russ, or, As the Bear Swore

By: Mendlesohn, Farah

Joanna Russ's writing career was relatively short, running from 1968 to 1987, with a number of essay collections published in the years after that. Her fiction career consists of just six novels and four collections, but each of the novels she published challenged engrained conventions of the genre. This exploration of The Female Man offers a close reading of the text, focussing on how the book works, its structures, arguments, humour, and brilliant anger.
