Description
How many stories have you read about feisty, courageous older women who take charge of their lives while coping with limitation and loss? We’ll encounter a few in speculative fiction – the remarkable novel Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon and several short stories by Ursula K. Le Guin, Sarah Pinsker and Ursula Vernon (T. Kingfisher). Stories will be provided but students will need to buy or borrow the novel by the second class. Expect to read approximately 100 engaging pages each week as you enjoy your acquaintance with such remarkable crones as Ofelia, Millie, Odo and Grandma Harken.
