This volume presents the work of a group of international academics on the topic of reproduction and motherhood in contemporary feminist speculative fiction. While many works of feminist speculative fiction specifically address topics such as reproduction and reproductive control, these are currently understudied within the literature on the genre. As speculative fiction allows projection into other universes and times and imagination of different interpersonal relationships, in addition to questioning biological and gender(s) limits, it inevitably participates in the erosion of fossilized visions of motherhood, giving space to the search for new possibilities in places that we could identify as utopian or dystopian. It is in this fertile terrain where the contributing authors find room to explore other pressing issues such as reproductive biotechnology, ectogenesis or cloning, xenobiology, haploid organisms, grafts with living beings or with artificial entities, microchimerism and more that contemporary speculative fiction represents.

Jessica Aliaga-Lavrijsen is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain. Dr. Aliaga-Lavrijsen specializes in Transmodern speculative fiction, with special focus on the topic of mothering in Anglophone science fiction.

Sara Martín is Senior Lecturer in English Literature and Cultural Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain. Dr. Martín specializes in Gender Studies (particularly Masculinities Studies) in speculative fiction, both print and audiovisual, with a special interest in science fiction.
