3.0 out of 5 stars
Not Free SF Reader, May 20 2008
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: V438 NEW WMN OF WONDER (Paperback)
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.
