Help Women Destroy Science Fiction!

From the campaign: "It could be said that women invented science fiction; after all, Mary Shelley wrote what is considered by many to be the first science fiction novel (Frankenstein). Yet some readers seem to have this funny idea that women don’t—or can’t—write science fiction. Some have even gone so far as to accuse women of destroying science fiction with their girl cooties. So to help prove how silly that notion is, LIGHTSPEED MAGAZINE's June 2014 issue—our fourth anniversary issue—will be a Women Destroy Science Fiction! special issue. And we will also—for the first time in LIGHTSPEED's history—have a guest editor at the helm." 



I'm really excited about this project.  I can't wait to read the science fiction, and-- thanks to reaching a stretch goal-- horror stories written by women!  Although it's been over-funded, it has a final stretch goal at $35,000-- a THIRD issue with a THIRD genre, totally written and edited by women!  So, if this sounds like something that might interest you, go donate within the next three days!
