Also on on the post-apocalyptic WTF reading list is Robert Heinlein's "Farnham's Freehold" (1964). A "sordid, alpha-male fantasy," writes @daxe (https://medium.com/war-is-boring/how-not-to-write-about-atomic-war-e1632a6a19e8 …). "...[A]n anti-racist novel only a Klansman could love," writes @HeerJeet (https://newrepublic.com/article/118048/william-pattersons-robert-heinlein-biography-hagiography?source=post_page--------------------------- …).
my comment about Heinlein is always, he could imagine countless fantastical worlds and futures, but he couldn't imagine one in which women had ideas of their own
I think maybe another way to put it, in line with @effjayem's work, is that Heinlein tried to imagine a world where women were equal but he wasn't fully successful, in part due to limits of his imagine. It's true that his women (like his men) were often sock-puppets.
The funny thing about Heinlein and sexism is that the accusations come from male critics. It’s as if they don’t recognise women having opinions! (Now race and Heinlein is a whole other barrel of fish.)
I don't claim to have read his entire back catalog. But I think you have to agree that he has some fairly one-dimensional female characters in many of his most popular books (SIASL, ST, etc.)?
Do you mean like The Number of the Beast in which Hilda ditches Jake on a planet for being a sexist back seat driving jerk? Or perhaps To Sail Beyind the Sunset in which Maureen takes her ex husband to the cleaners when he tries to cheat her in the settlement? Complex chap RAH.
