Angie achieved fame as a spacer. But when some fresh-faced interviewer asks Angie to tell the origin story of the Space Bimbos, the interviewer gets more than she bargained for.
Instead, Angie tells the tale of a group of ambitious and talented girls who, inspired by an old pulp magazine called Rocket Girls, cobbled together a rocket and tried to blast off into space—and then, made history.
With “Rocket Girls,” Kristine Kathryn Rusch puts her own genius female-empowered twist on the build-a-spaceship-in-your-backyard trope from the pulps.
“…the whole thing was really fun.”
—Locus
“Another great story from this great writer.”
—SFRevu
“’Rocket Girls’ by Kristine Kathryn Rusch is an entertaining novelette, and well worth a read. …the light-hearted tale is both reminiscent of and respectful to the pulp era, while acknowledging its obvious faults.”
