Editor's Note: These citations are not specifically about feminist sf, women in sf, or feminist analyses of sf; those works are generally listed on the (sorted) criticism pages.

These citations include a wide assortment of works relevant to feminist SF, but notn directly on the topic of feminist SF. Works might include:

• ancillary works, such as works of feminist theory, SF criticism, women's history, history of utopian movements
• works that build on feminist SF scholarship or feminist SF
• works that include some minor discussion of feminist SF issues
• unevaluated works, that may be potentially relevant, based on title or reference in another work
• fan & trivia books on topics of particular interest to feminist SF, but that are not particularly engaged with feminism

The citations were selectively compiled from the editor's collection, print bibliographies from anthologies, review articles, bibliographies from other articles, and literature searches of the Wilson databases, the MLA database, and Current Contents (Arts & Humanities). I included very few book reviews but there are some in here. There are presently too many citations, and I am too busy with the job that pays me, to annotate each of these citations. If you wish to discuss one of these articles, or give me your opinion or recommendation about another, I welcome your input. I cannot promise immediate responses, however.

For a more annotated and scholarly approach, try Heather Whipple's page. She has created a research guide that annotates some of the important works in this field.

Related or Unevaluated Nonfiction:

More than a few of these items deal with actual experimental communities, not literary utopias. I haven't tried to be comprehensive but have just added them when they struck me as particularly interesting.
