"Contemporary Japanese female speculative fiction writers of novels and manga employ
the perspectives of aliens, cyborgs, and bioengineered entities to critique the social
realities of women, particularly with respect to reproduction, which they also re-imagine
in radical ways. Harada examines the various meanings of (re)production in light of
feminist and queer studies and offers close readings of works by novelists Murata
Sayaka, Ōhara Mariko, Ueda Sayuri and manga artists Hagio Moto and Shirai Yumiko.
Scholarship of SF in Japanese studies has primarily focused on male authors, but this
book shows not only how women writers have created a space in SF and speculative fiction
but how their work can be seen as a response to particular social norms and government
policies"
