Sci fi and fantasy stories about strong women, September 4, 2004
This review is from: Amazons! (Paperback)
This anthology is the first of two (the second being Amazons II) collections of science fiction and fantasy stories about tough women. Put together in the late 1970's, when strong female characters were less common than they are today, it was an important collection at the time.

Truly Wonderful!, February 12, 2007
This review is from: Amazons! (Paperback)
This is an amazing collection of stories. I have read it over and over, you'll want to also! Stories range from sad to beautiful, encompassing women in all their ranges and types. I won't waste your time by re listing the stories quill has done a great job of that, but my favorites were the Rape Patrol and Northern Chess. If you liked Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword & Sorceress, you'll enjoy this book too.
