Abstract

According to Jane Donawerth in Frankenstein's Daughters, the only way for women to write science fiction, is for them to change the rules. This is certainly the case with Octavia Butler's "Bloodchild". In Butler's Nebula award winning short story, Butler tells the tale of Gan, a young boy who has been raised to bear the children of a controlling alien species. Although the subject of human slavery and surrogate mothers is nothing new to science fiction, men bearing children is. If you look at "Bloodchild" through Donawerth's eyes, you can see the many changes that Butler had to make to ensure her story would be enticing enough for the average science fiction reader.
