“although it’s possible that Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death falls into the “so bad it’s good” category”
I was super excited that one of my recent blogposts got included in a catchall post about women, science and fiction over at the awesome Women & Science blog. It also included some other posts that are well worth checking out:
Skepchick starts a list of books written by female scientists (Sandra Hrdy, Marlene Zuk, and May Berenbaum) and science fiction writers (Connie Willis, Tanya Huff) and asks for additional recommendations. Be sure to read the comments for additional suggestions!
See also the IMDB’s category of “babe scientist” movies, both good and bad. And a link to Joan Slonczewski, a feminist science fiction writer who also teaches biology.
