Another terrific collection of sf short stories by female authors. I read WOW the classic years first and really loved it, I liked this one too, but not quite as excited simply because I had read more of these stories elsewhere. Still a good collection, and I enjoyed the introductory essays by Pamela Sargent in both volumes too.

These would be a great place to start if you wanted to find more women sf authors to read, its a collection of some of the really good ones. There's also a recommended reading list in the back. ( )
