3.0 out of 5 stars
Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Women 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. New Women Of Wonder : Screwtop - Vonda N. McIntyre New Women Of Wonder : The Warlord of Saturn's Moons - Eleanor Arnason New Women Of Wonder : The Triumphant Head - Josephine Saxton New Women Of Wonder : The Heat Death of the Universe - Pamela A. Zoline New Women Of Wonder : Songs of War - Kit Reed New Women Of Wonder : The Women Men Don't See - James TiptreeJr. New Women Of Wonder : Debut - Carol Emshwiller New Women Of Wonder : When It Changed - Joanna Russ New Women Of Wonder : Dead in Irons - Chelsea Quinn Yarbro New Women Of Wonder : Building Block - Sonya Dorman New Women Of Wonder : Eyes of Amber - Joan D. Vinge Redsun, white boots, tetra prison plot. 3.5 out of 5 Writing dull. 3 out of 5 Mirror blah. 2.5 out of 5 Numbered inserts finished finally. 2 out of 5 Revolution women, non-stick. 4 out of 5 Crash alien intro. 4 out of 5 Killer, Queen, not. 2.5 out of 5 Separation anxiety. 3.5 out of 5 Babel Princess extended voyage. 3 out of 5 Star Cup inspiration. 3.5 out of 5 I am the Music Man, and I talk to people who don't come from down your way. 4 out of 5 |
