When creating an alternate history, authors need to consider patterns from the real world. In the Hugo-award winning novel The Calculating Stars, author Mary Robinette Kowal reimagines the space race with more active involvement from women and people of color. In her research, she began by assuming that they were involved and had been erased. Alternate histories like these explore questions relevant to modern spaceflight. Are women finding equity in science research, technology, planetary science, and human space exploration? What are the social implications of the push for space? Kowal will discuss using the tools of fiction to explore race and gender relations in space.
