Generation Femizine

Generation Femizine edited by Rob Hansen, published in September 2023 by Ansible Editions, is another TAFF free ebook on fanhistory, with a simultaneous PoD trade paperback (67,000 words, 148 print pages). The annotation says:

In this compilation, Rob Hansen surveys the early presence of women in UK science fiction fandom, identifies our first known female fan, and shows the lead-up to the fanzine Femizine (1954-1960) – the first true rallying point for female British fans. Each major contributor is represented by a mini-biography and a photograph, followed by a selection of her writings in Femizine and/or contemporary fan publications.
