Hey all. My name is Sara Sickelka. I'm a junior majoring in history here at ISU. I'm a big fan of sci-fi which is why I found this class particularly appealing. I'm really excited to examine the way woman have been portrayed in the sci-fi genre and to learn how these portrayals are changing and evolving as time goes on.
I thought "Of Woman Borg" was a very interesting article. The way female androids and cyborgs are portrayed definitely seems very sexist at times, so it was interesting to read how some authors and directors are trying to change that stereotype.
