The main reason I chose this class is because I wanted to take a literature class and read novels, as a STEM major I knew that this would be one of my only chances to take a class where I could read books I actually enjoy. Enders Game, A Wrinkle In Time, and The Martian are some of my favorite books from throughout my life, so when I saw a science fiction literature course it fit the criteria I was looking for. The fact that this is a women and gender studies class is an added bonus because this is a lens I am familiar with but not regarding science fiction novels, and I think this will add another dimension to merely analyzing literature.
