FEMINIST SCIENCE FICTION

Deals with womens roles in society
Can have LGBT themes

"However, feminists have also created science fiction that directly engages with feminism beyond the creation of female action heroes. Television and film have offered opportunities for expressing new ideas about social structures and the ways feminists influence science.[14] Feminist science fiction provides a means to challenge the norms of society and suggest new standards for how societies view gender.[15] The genre also deals with male/female categories, showing how female roles can differ from feminine roles. Hence feminism influences the film industry by creating new ways of exploring and looking at masculinity/femininity and male/female roles.[16]"
