"Lisa Yaszek & Patrick B. Sharp's Sisters of Tomorrow: The First Women of Science Fiction represents an ambitious effort to bring to light not only the women writers of the era, but editors, artists, poets, and journalists was well. It is as complete a picture as we're likely to get, both as anthology and as critical work, of the role of women in the field between roughly 1929 to 1945." --Gary K. Wolfe, Locus "Sisters of Tomorrow is a fascinating look at a group of writers whose work is often forgotten. The decision to include journalists, editors, artists and poets highlights the role of women not only in SF literature but, equally importantly, in the genre's community."--James Holloway, Fortean Times "[A] well-constructed collection of fascinating material."--Roz Kaveney, Times Literary Supplement "There's a lot of great reading here for any fan of the [Science Fiction] pupls, casual or fanatic. My only regret is that there aren't additional volumes."--John O'Neill, Black Gate Magazine, "Lisa Yaszek & Patrick B.

Wolfe, Locus "An indispensable introduction, overview, and guide to women writers of sf in the pulps from 1929 to the 1940s, making available work previously only accessible to those with access to fast-disintegrating pulp magazines. No scholar of science fiction should be without this remarkable book."--Justine Larbalestier, author of Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction "This brilliant multi-genre anthology traces the origins and influences of women writers, editors, and artists who found a home in early science-fiction magazines."--Lisa Swanstrom, Department of English, Florida Atlantic University "I hope Sisters of Tomorrow flies long and high."--Ursula Le Guin, winner of the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters "Lucid, meticulously researched, and engaging, providing early science-fiction writing from pioneering women in the field, and an excellent critical apparatus for framing these works within their respective historical contexts."--Jane Donawerth, author of Frankenstein's Daughters: Women Writing Science Fiction "There's a lot of great reading here for any fan of the [Science Fiction] pupls, casual or fanatic.

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!
