History The Le Guin Feminist Science Fiction Fellowship was originated by the Center for the Study of Women in Society at the University of Oregon, the University of Oregon Robert D. Clark Honors College, and University of Oregon Libraries Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA).
The intention of the Le Guin Feminist Science Fiction Fellowship is to encourage research within collections in the area of feminist science fiction. The UO Libraries Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) houses the papers of authors Ursula K. Le Guin, Joanna Russ, James Tiptree, Jr., Kate Wilhelm, Suzette Haden Elgin, Sally Miller Gearhart, Kate Elliot, Molly Gloss, Laurie Marks, and Jessica Salmonson, along with Damon Knight. SCUA is also in the process of acquiring the papers of other key feminist science fiction authors. For more about these collections, visit http://library.uoregon.edu/node/3524.
