How LitFic Authors and Women Destroy the World || A History of Literary and Female-Led Apocalypses

Apocalyptic fiction originated as literary fiction more than 200 years ago, and it has returned to its roots with renewed vigor in recent years. Intriguingly, many recent apocalypses have been written by women or feature female main characters -- a dramatic departure from most of the subgenre's history, and it also coincides with significant thematic shifts in the stories being told. This is an overview of the history of apocalyptic literary fiction and the roles that women have played in it. It's part of my survey of the wide range and history of more than 300 end-of-the-world novels. Previously, I've discussed how the subgenre's evolution has been driven by the doomsday fears that prevailed in society at different points in history (   • How Apocalyptic Fiction Reflects Society's...  ). I've explored how apocalyptic (and post-apocalyptic) fiction has been shaped by the competing worldviews of famous philosophers (   • How the Philosophies of Hobbes, Locke, Rou...  ). I also have a cheeky and unorthodox musical take on weird apocalyptic fiction (   • BookTube's First Music Video? || A Tribute...  ). 0:00 Data and definitions used 3:49 Artistically expressive apocalypses 10:20 Exploring the human spirit 18:30 Apocalypses as catalysts for change 20:56 How women destroy the world (through fiction) 27:48 The rise of matriarchies 35:45 21st century female-led apocalypses Links to some of my other videos about science fiction: Jack Vance Retrospective -    • The Many Rogues, Rascals & Scoundrels of J...   Connie Willis Retrospective -    • The Best of Connie Willis || An Overview o...   A History of Gnome Press -    • The Tiny Publisher That Kickstarted Modern...   A History of Science Fiction Anthologies -    • Why Short Story Anthologies Are the Best I...   The Roots and Evolution of Steampunk -    • Who Put the "Punk" in Steampunk? The Roots...   The Best SF of Vernor Vinge -    • Vernor Vinge's Best Science Fiction, 1984-...   Tier Ranking Neal Stephenson's Novels -    • Tier Ranking Neal Stephenson's Novels / SP...   I have a Ko-Fi.com page if you enjoy my videos and would like to buy me a cup of coffee: https://ko-fi.com/thelibraryladder Media credits: Lost Horizon (1937) Lost Horizon (1973) Moonfall (2022) The Queen's Gambit (2020) The Hustler (1961) Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas (1977) Deep Impact (1998) Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956) Terminator 3 (2003) I, Robot (2004) On the Beach (1959) Leave It to Beaver (1959) Project Moonbase (1953) Cat-Women of the Moon (1953) The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) Station Eleven (2021) 28 Years Later (2025) #scifi #postapocalyptic #booktube
