A review by purepazaak
Memoirs of a Spacewoman by Naomi Mitchison
5.0
the description for this book is ridiculous. every chapter was about her learning a new, completely alien language with a different planetary species. the narrative comes from a scientific point of view and does not focus on the narrator's sexuality whatsoever
theres a couple mentions of her body
theres a huge problem in sci fi where if a woman experiences something, it is read as hyper sexual. this is an important issue to address
THIS BOOK IS ABOUT VISITING AND OBSERVING ALIEN WORLDS WITHOUT BREAKING THE PRIME DIRECTIVE
and unlike star trek the narrator actually TRIES not to break the prime directive
