Shows the merciless clarity of fine art. * Washington Post *
Brilliant … a stroboscopic stylist. * Publishers Weekly *
...the collection speaks in new ways from and to a broad range of interests, including sf, feminist theory and activism, and lesbian politics. As such, the book is a valuable contribution not only to sf criticism and the history of feminism in general, but also to scholarship on Joanna Russ's own fiction. Russ's book reviews, which constitute the bulk and the heart of the collection, are wonderfully sharp and ruthlessly devoted to literary quality in sf. * Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 35 *
