"From fantastic legends and science fictional futures come compelling tales of powerful women-or those who discover strength they did not know they possessed--who fight because they must, for what they believe in, for those they love, to simply survive, or who glory in battle itself. Fierce or fearful, they are courageous and honorable--occasionally unscrupulous and tainted--but all warriors worthy of the name. Join bestselling authors Elizabeth Bear, Nancy Kress, George R. R. Martin, Elizabeth Moon and many others as they celebrate the strong female protagonist in what Publishers Weekly calls an 'epic anthology.'" --… (more)

A lot of hits, a couple misses, and a few I wish I had liked more, but a well-curated anthology nonetheless! ( )

Good selection with some a cut above: Moon, Bear and Huff ( )

Quick notes on individual stories as I read them:

"Northern Chess" by Tanith Lee - this is well written, of course, being from Tanith Lee, but the plot turns on a fairly hoary line dating back to Macbeth. Still, a scenic ride.

'Anukazi's Daughter" by Mary Gentle


"Become a Warrior" by Jane Yolen

"The Sea Troll's Daughter" by Caitlin R. Kiernan - I kinda get a Conan vibe from this one too. I'm worried that the stories I like best so far are along Conan/Red Sonja lines - traditional S&S heroes who happen to wear chainmail bikinis.


"Joenna's Axe" by Elaine Isaak - I guess this is what I was expecting?


"Love Among the Talus" by Elizabeth Bear


"Soul Case" by Nalo Hopkinson

JJust Yesterday
"The Girls from Avenger" by Carrie Vaughn - I enjoyed this, but it seems a little out of place in this volume. I guess it's alternate history, but I don't really know enough about the WASPs to be sure.


"In the Loop" by Ken Liu -Wow.


"Dying with her Cheer Pants On" by Seanan McGuire

Short but punchy - I liked it.
"Prayer" by Robert Reed

Somewhere between Myth & Possibility
"England Under the White Witch" by Theodora Goss

Poetic, but I don't think it'll stay with me long.

"The Lonely Songs of Laren Dorr" by George R.R. Martin

Bleak, dreamy, beautiful - reminiscent of M. John Harrison or Moorcock.


"The Knight of Chains, the Deuce of Stars" by Yoon Ha Lee

I love the hell out of this story, but I do not begin to understand it.
Space Aria
"Boy Twelve" by Jessica Reisman
"The Application of Hope" by Kristine Rusch
"Not That Kind of War" by Tanya Huff
"Naratha's Shadow" by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller

Will No War End All War?
"Eaters" by Nancy Kress
"And Wash Out by Tides of Ware" by An Owomoyela
"Hand to Hand" by Elizabeth Moon
"They Tell Me There Will be No Pain" by Rachael Acks
"Wonder Maul Doll" by Kameron Hurley
"The Days of the War, as Red as Blood, as Dark as Bile" by Aliette de Bodard ( )
