We are saddened at the passing of Joanna Russ. She was one of the “greats” in science fiction and in feminism. The Press has two of her works, We Who Are About To… and The Two of Them, in print. Her classic novel, The Female Man, is still in print through Beacon Press. Read more about Russ at the Locus website.
