Women and Men in Writing Science Fiction Short Stories

Shatha Alkhalaf

Abstract


No one can deny the role that short stories have played in the life of humans since time immemorial. They do not only keep family members close, but also strengthen the bond of those who share the same interest and happen to exchange them with each other. The current study discusses the significance of short stories in general and investigates the impact of writer’s gender on the writing of science fiction short stories. To do so, eight short stories were analysed.

Keywords
