The Empowering Legacy of Science Fiction
Contributed by Michelle Davidson, educator and owner of The Lyceum Steps, an education evaluation company
Davidson traces an arc through her life story which began when a fifth-grade teacher gave her a copy of the novel Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey. This gesture, combined with the bold and self-affirming nature of a novel featuring a determined young female protagonist, gave Davidson the strength and conviction to surpass her own expectations of herself.
