Reproductive Futurism and Feminist Rhetoric: Joanna Russ's RUSS'S We Who Are about To...
- Authors
Sheldon, Rebekah
- Abstract
An essay is presented in which the author presents her views on the novel of Joanna Russ entitled "We Who Are About To..." The author argues that often-toxic assumption that the refusal to procreate is a repudiation of futurity which resulted from the conflation of reproduction with procreation. Furthermore, he adds that the novel is shocking in a way that it reveals the shared commitment to human futurity that bind together couples resistance to oppression and political movements of all kinds.
