By paraphrasing Sarah Lefanu, the representation of Pamela as a woman characterized by an unusual display of know-how and the desire to save the world, inscribes her as a subject “free from the constraints of mundane fiction; and it also offers the possibility of interrogating that very inscription, questioning the basis of gendered subjectivity” (1988: 9). Pamela is different from other women in sf narratives, who have tended to be in supporting roles to men. Like Tinía in Parola di alieno , the main female character of Le grotte di Marte is capable of understanding the aliens better than her male counterparts. Le grotte di Marte is definitely a product of its time and of the struggles for women’s rights: the depiction of Pamela shows not only that a woman can be an astronaut, but it suggests that the traditional roles of men and women on planet Earth need to change in the near future.
