Creation and apocalypse in feminist speculative fiction

"Exploring nine works of contemporary feminist speculative fiction by Rhoda Lerman, Angela Carter, Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood and Naomi Alderman, this book asks how the biblical myths of creation and apocalypse can intensify characters' emotions or distract them from dealing with the more immediate problems presented by climate crisis, war, social inequality and other distressing realities"-- Provided by publisher.
