The Penguin Book of Modern Fantasy by Women

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (9802 ratings)

Description:Fantasy long has been a vehicle that women have used to express their creative diversity and free themselves from a male-dominated literary establishment. This collection contains 38 short stories written by women from 1941 to the present. Acclaimed fantasists, such as Anne McCaffrey, Ursula Le Guin, and Lisa Tuttle, are joined by new voices from four continents as well as writers better known for other fictions, such as Joyce Carol Oates, Fay Weldon, and P.D. James. They explore every aspect of the weird and the macabre, of emotion and eroticism, allowing readers to discover the range and complexity of well-written fantasy.Contents:Sources and Acknowledgements • uncredited essayIntroduction • essay by Joanna RussEditors' Note • essay by Richard Glyn Jones and A.
