Today, science-fiction writers have begun to create more realistic women characters than they did in the past, and more women are writing science fiction than ever before. The most innovative of their stories, in addition to being engaging science fiction, not only treat women convincingly, but explicitly address feminist concerns and emphasize future possiblities. This collection of science-fiction stories represents the best of the new women writers.
