Space feminism emerged as a movement to challenge gender inequality within the space industry and to reimagine
humanity’s future beyond Earth through a feminist lens. It’s not just about getting more women into astronaut suits
it’s about reshaping the systems, narratives, and power structures that have historically excluded marginalized voices from space exploration.
Inclusive space policy: Advocating for gender equity in astronaut selection, research funding, and leadership roles.
Intersectionality:
Recognizing that race, class, and sexuality intersect with gender in shaping access to space careers.
Feminist science fiction:
Using speculative storytelling to imagine futures where gender norms are dismantled and space is a place of liberation.
Ethical
colonization: Questioning the patriarchal and colonial mindset behind space colonization and promoting more equitable visions of interplanetary life.
Space feminism isn’t just about who gets to go to space it’s about who gets to shape the future. As humanity looks toward Mars and beyond, this movement insists that our cosmic ambitions reflect justice, diversity, and care not just conquest.
