Next on my reading list is Future Females: the Next Generation, a collection of academic essays on feminist SF. Luckily I've got enough acaspeak under my belt to cope, but just let me do a little rewriting here.

Hence I shall ask: To what extent do Noon's cyberpunk narratives constitute an oppositional critique of hegemonic gender ideologies?

Hence I shall ask: Would Noon's cyberpunk novels challenge most peoples' assumption about gender? If so, how much?

Hence I shall ask: Does Noon's cyberpunk attack dominant ideas about men and women?

Hence I shall ask: Does Noon's cyberpunk critique sexism?

That's why I'll ask: how much do Noon's cyberpunk stories criticize gender role institutions.

I have to confess, I've read 3 of Noon's books and, er, never really thought of any of that once.

I guess maybe the best answers would lie in Automated Alice but I could be wrong.

There's a completely bonkers piece in there about Clinton and clitorises, which I thought would make a great little essay if they just had the confidence to write like Helen Razor, rather than bury the witty insights in imsofuckingcleverist jargon which kills the jokes stone dead!

That's some nice bullshit-consolidating there.
