Hidden Worlds: Masking Gender in Science Fiction

hidden

This project conducted network analysis research on an online database of female-identified science fiction writers who wrote under pseudonyms, focusing particularly on those that used pseudonyms that were gender-neutral or masculine. Database includes authors, pseudonyms, biographical info, works, and visualizations of the editorial and publishing networks the authors were part of. All info was scraped from other websites and connected together in a linked data format on a drupal site: http://hiddenworldsdb.org.
