ConBust, or: Now We Gotta Change our Motto

28 years ago, a bunch of UW Madison students and recent grads came back from the 1976 WorldCon and decided they’d like to run a convention. And as they attended Susan Wood’s groundbreaking panel on women and science fiction, they decided their convention would have a feminist theme.

Now there’s another feminist-oriented SF convention. It’s run by students at Smith College, and like those early WisCons, they’re holding it on campus.

At last, WisCon will need to change its motto. It’s no longer the only feminist science fiction convention!
