Bechdel Test -- passed
I recently learned about the Bechdel Test, which asks, “Does this work have (1) at least two women (2) who talk to each other (3) about something other than a man?” Earths in Space passes many times over. This is just one small example. Amena and Mariana have come across half-buried pyramids, and while Amena speculates, Mariana tries to ground her in reality. It's not all about the boys here.
Book Excerpt
Earths in Space vol.1: Where Are the Little Green Men?
“Lose something?” Mariana asked.
“Just thinking about how many generations upon generations of events happened in these very spots we’re walking over,” Amena said. “This land—well, the land down there, more likely—it could have been used in so many different ways.”
“Yeah, as graves.”
“Way to look on the bright side, Mariana.”
She shrugged. “I didn’t put pyramids here.”
“What, pyramids can’t have any other purpose? They’re just houses for death, end of discussion? You said—you pointed out that different people lived here with their different decisions.”
“Specifics may change, but people behave in patterns. Shouldn’t be ignored.”
