About this product
Product Information
Kit Reed has been delighting and terrifying readers for over thirty years with her darkly comic speculative fiction. This collection of short stories, drawn from a lifetime's work, shows Reed at the top of her form. First published in venues ranging from The Missouri Review to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Fiction, these twenty stories deal with women's lives and feminist issues from the kitchen sink and pink dishmop era through the warlike years of the women's movement to the uneasy accommodation of the present.

Reviews
"Full of humor, pathos, understanding, and an insidious horror which makes laughter as wild as a scream, and makes terror an hilarious release."ÑWorlds Ahead, "Her humorous, ironic prose could best be described as The Feminine Mystique meets The Twilight Zone. Her surreal short stories provide a unique commentary on the role of women in America from the 1950s to the present." - Booklist, "She is the SF writer par excellence of the war between the generations . . . Kit Reed frees us as we read her."ÑJohn Clute, Science Fiction Weekly, "Her flights of fancy are tipped with curare."--Brian W. Aldiss "Illustrating the powers of fantastic literature to illuminate real sociological dilemmas and personal psychological states, Reed's collection is both a popular book for general readers and a useful primary text for studying 20th-century writing by women.""--Paul Di Filippo "A significant and needed contribution by an important feminist fiction writer who has the guts and wit of Joanna Russ and James Tiptree, Jr.""--Marleen Barr "Reed is an expert at using science fiction to cast a subversive eye on women's roles. This fine showcase of some of her best stories is a significant contribution.""--Pamela Sargent, "Her humorous, ironic prose could best be described as The Feminine Mystique meets The Twilight Zone.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
