Format:Paperback
...'A WOMAN'S LIBERATION: A Choice Of Futures By And About Women' is an anthology featuring some of the finest women science fiction writers out there. Ladies, you have done your jobs as writers extremely well. You have hooked yourselves another fan with this anthology. I was captivated with this book from the very first story. I could scarcely put the book down. I couldn't believe it; I was reading science fiction and enjoying it immensely!
A WOMAN'S LIBERATION consists of stories by ten different authors - Nancy Kress, Connie Willis, Sarah Zettel, Pat Murphy, Vonda N. McIntyre, S.N. Dyer, Katherine MacLean, Octavia E. Butler, Anne McCaffrey, and Ursula K. Le Guin. It would be very tough for me to pick a favorite story out of the ten featured in this book; but, if hard pressed, I think it would have to be 'Rachel in Love' by Pat Murphy with 'Inertia' by Nancy Kress coming in a close second.
Fans of the science fiction genre, this is a must read. For all you readers out there who haven't tried the science fiction genre, this a book that you need to read; I think you will become hooked just as I was!

Format:Paperback
...I am not a big fan of the science fiction genre. On the other hand, I am a big fan of anything to do with the liberation of women, which is why I requested A WOMAN'S LIBERATION for review.

enjoyable science fiction short stories
29 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
This anthology consists of ten science fiction stories previously published in Asimov or Analog written by women starring a female protagonist. The tales display how female authors have more than just contributed to the genre, but pioneered it while liberating writers to go beyond the limits of the past. Each story is well written as expected from a group of authors like this collection contains. Regardless of your gender, if you enjoy science fiction short stories you will gain much pleasure from much of A WOMAN'S LIBERATION.
