C. L. Moore is considered a trailblazer of feminist SF because of the short stories she published in the 1930s and 1940s. Her tales ‘Shambleau’ (1933) and ‘No Woman Born’ (1944) have attracted some scholarly attention, but the stories that follow the medieval female warrior, Jirel of Joiry (1934–1939), have yet to be addressed in any depth. In this article I therefore focus attention on Jirel who is, arguably, the first female warrior to appear in SF. Using Judith Halberstam's work (1998. Female Masculinity. Durham: Duke University Press), as well as recent studies on the female action hero as my theoretical framework, I argue that Jirel presents the reader with a performance of female masculinity. I demonstrate that her performance of masculinity is channelled by the warrior role she plays into traits such as physical strength, authority, sexual agency and an enjoyment of violence. Her performance of masculinity is significant because of the era in which the Jirel tales were published, and may well constitute the first appearance of a female masculinity in SF. If this is the case, the Jirel stories make a central contribution feminist SF and their value should be acknowledged as equal to that of Moore's other stories.

“热情而野蛮的力量”：CL Moore 的《Jirel of Joiry》的女性阳刚之气

CL Moore 被认为是女权主义科幻小说的先驱，因为她在 1930 年代和 1940 年代发表了短篇小说。她的故事“Shambleau”（1933 年）和“No Woman Born”（1944 年）引起了一些学术界的关注，但中世纪女战士 Jirel of Joiry（1934-1939 年）之后的故事尚未得到深入探讨. 因此，在本文中，我将注意力集中在 Jirel 身上，她可以说是第一个出现在科幻小说中的女战士。使用 Judith Halberstam 的作品（1998 年。女性男性气质。达勒姆：杜克大学出版社），以及最近对女性动作英雄的研究作为我的理论框架，我认为 Jirel 向读者展示了女性男性气质的表现。我证明了她的男性气质表现是由她扮演的战士角色引导到诸如体力、权威、性代理和享受暴力。由于吉雷尔故事出版的时代，她对男性气质的表现具有重要意义，并且很可能构成SF中女性男性气质的首次亮相。如果是这样的话，Jirel 的故事对女权主义科幻小说做出了核心贡献，它们的价值应该被承认与摩尔的其他故事一样。
