The moment of the novella with JY Yang
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
10/10/19 • 33 min
I have been thoroughly enjoying JY Yang’s Tensorate series of novellas so wanted to chat to them about blending science fiction and fantasy, non-binary representation in SFF, and using different structures and forms across a series! Fair warning – there is a lot of giggling in this episode. But hey, it’s nice when interviewer and [...]

Disney Princes
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
09/26/19 • 52 min
Previously on Breaking the Glass Slipper we have covered Disney princesses. This time we thought we would turn our attention to the men. But we’re a podcast about women! So why spend an entire episode focusing on princes and other male protagonists in Disney films? Well, the dominant narratives surrounding men – and in this instance, [...]

Alternate histories with Mary Robinette Kowal
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
09/12/19 • 62 min
Alternate history narratives – regardless of whether they have overt fantasy or sci-fi elements – are ultimately ‘what if’ narratives. This is the same basic principle underlying all speculative fiction, so it is no wonder they made such good bedfellows. Have you ever thought about writing an alternate history story or wondered what’s involved? Good [...]

Islands in speculative fiction: Live from WorldCon
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
08/29/19 • 45 min
Much of W. B. Yeats’ poetry is inspired by the rich mythological fabric of Ireland. This is the land of the Sidhe, the banshee, the merrow. But the island itself has a character, an identity, in the geographical, historical and metaphysical sense. So, in homage to our host country, we’ll be talking about the place [...]

Trinities with Jen Williams
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
08/15/19 • 47 min
From ancient mythology and religious texts to Star Trek and Harry Potter, trinities – or trios – have always been a common motif. Why is the power of three so potent and what tropes do we tend to see? To help us delve into this subject, we have enlisted the help of an author of [...]

Alien at 40: The making of a feminist icon
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
08/01/19 • 53 min
In 1979, one of the most seminal sci-fi films ever made was shown for the first time on the big screen. Ridley Scott’s Alien is a dark, disturbing and downright terrifying addition to the Hollywood Hall of Fame. 2019 marks 40 years since Alien was born (or possibly ripped from a stomach), so we thought [...]

The importance of diversity in children’s books
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
07/18/19 • 52 min
Today’s episode was inspired by an article that appeared on The Guardian with the headline ‘Picture book bias worsens as female characters stay silent.’ The piece was based on research into books published in the last year, showing that most picture books ‘present a white and male-dominated world to children.’ A child is 1.6 times [...]

The problem with the chosen one
Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
06/20/19 • 73 min
In our last episode, we had author Aliette de Bodard on to discuss the absence of mothers in speculative fiction. One explanation put forward was the focus of chosen one narratives – these stories rely on the protagonist achieving something great, against all odds, and usually alone (or supported by a small group, rarely, if [...]

This year has been an incredibly busy one for the BtGS girls, so when it came time to do our annual live episode at FantasyCon we decided to do something a little different. We threw caution to the wind and went for a fun and silly set-up. Let us assure you: major silliness occurred. We [...]
