By looking into theory on female characters and their portrayals and roles in the genre and comparing three science fiction novels: Bearing an Hourglass by Pierce Anthony, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins.

The Hunger Games is recent and shows the improval of the portrayal of its female characters.
