    • Abstract:
      Chapter 2 of the book "Demand My Writing: Joanna Russ/Feminism/Science Fiction," by Jeanne Cortiel is presented. According to the chapter, materialist feminism functions under the assumption that sex constitutes the most fundamental social class distinction and that the so-called utopian goal is to alleviate sex as a socially relevant category through a feminist revolution. It mentions that androcide has been continuously transformed and developed by Russ as a way to give her female characters the power and credibility.
