The Secret Feminist Cabal: A Cultural History of Science Fiction Feminisms by Helen Merrick

3.0

This book was really interesting and I liked the history of fandom as a whole that was included (same shit different day since the 1930s it sounds like) but the language is very dense and there are a few chapters that seemed a bit irrelevant. Sometimes the author would mention that certain things (eg race, sexuality) hadn't been taken into account by other writers but then she didn't really take them into account either.

I'd recommend it only if you're already interested in the subject.
