The New Women of Wonder Recent Science Fiction Stories by Women about Women Pamela Sargent 9780394724386 Books

While a lot of this book is not that good, storywise, averaging only 3.14, there is a considerable introduction - talking about women and sf from the point of view of the late 70s, of course.

She points out Andre Norton being ignored, for one - probably still is, too, award naming notwithstanding.

Also a reading list, broken down into novels, collections/anthologies and short stories. You'll certainly find some better stuff there.

Almost all female of course, but in the novel section the editor picks Babel, by Samuel R. Delany (which is indeed excellent), the Trouble With Lichen, by John Wyndham, and James H. Schmitz's the Demon Breed, as far as male authors go. The latter you can find online at Baen if interested, as well as at the usual place, and is pretty cool.

So I'd call this a 3.25 for the extra stuff. There are three good (4 star) stories.

This is a wonderful addition to the collection of Science Fiction by women. I'm looking forward to the new writings.
