(2012) Fool's gold?, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
In this chapter I attempt two things. My primary objective is to identify a number of different kinds of utopianism that occur in twenty-first-century fiction. My second is to consider the content (and core themes) of recent feminist Utopian fiction (which includes eutopias and dystopias) in order to illustrate one of the main functions of Utopias: engagement in contemporary debates. The first cannot occur without the second and so, in the discussions that follow, I begin by untangling core themes and illuminating contributions to on-going debates and disputes. It is then possible to ask, "what kind of utopianism is this?"
