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.
'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 to pick a favorite story out of the
ten featured in this book; but, if hard pressed, 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 science fiction, this a book that you need
to read; I think you will become hooked, just as I was!
