JOANNA RUSS’S THE FEMALE MAN:TOWARDS A FEMINIST REVOLUTION

Abstract

American writer Joanna Russ’s The Female Man is a novel of science fiction published in 1975.In this novel, there are four women coming from different times and places. Joanna is from the present time. Jeannine is a romantic dreamer from a place where World War II never happened and The Great Depression continues. Janet comes from a world where no men have existed from centuries. Jael is an assassin from a dystopic future where women and men are literally engaged in a “battle of sexes”. First of all; in this study, alternative worlds of Janet and Jael’s will be explored. The journey across the galaxies with four women approves us that women must struggle to survive in “a man’s world” … no matter which planet they come from. On the other hand, The Female Man was written at the same time when the second wave of feminism was very active. As Sarah Lefanu points out those modern feminist utopias are intimately connected with the modern women’s liberation movement. Joanna Russ especially is influenced by radical feminist thoughts in the novel. The reflections of these thoughts will be analyzed in the second part of the article.
