Summary/Abstract: This article aims to explain briefly some of the reasons for the intermittent evolution of science fiction in Puerto Rico and addresses the causes that lead to the appearance at the beginning of the twenty-first century of narratives of this genre written by women, focusing on the short stories of Ana María Fuster Lavín, who in her collection La marejada de los muertos y otras pandemias (2020) assumes feminist positions with which, in addition to denouncing the inequalities experienced by Puerto Rican women and girls, affirms their importance as subjects in the radical transformation of the dystopian panorama that the island has been experiencing since the fiscal crisis of 2014.
