  abstract: Science fiction, as a literature of fantasy, goes beyond the mundane to ask the question what if the world were different from the way it is? It often challenges the real, builds on imagination, places no limits on human capacities and encourages readers to think outside their social and cultural conditioning. This book presents a systematic study of Indian women's science fiction. It offers a critical analysis of the works of four female Indian writers of science fiction, Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, Manjula Padmanabhan, Priya Sarukkai Chabria and Vandana Singh. The author considers not only the evolution of science fiction writing in India, but also discusses the use of innovations and unique themes including science fiction in different Indian languages, the literary, political and educational activism of the women writers and ecofeminism and the idea of cloning in writing, to argue that this genre could be viewed as a vibrant representation of freedom of expression and radical literature. This ground-breaking volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of English literature. It will also prove a very useful source for further studies into Indian literature, science and technology studies, women's and gender studies, comparative literature and cultural studies.
