Cassandra Rising

The world of science fiction--long dominated by male writers who created male heroes always reaty to rescue a damsel in distress--is feeling the influence of top-notch women writers. This anthology contains nineteen original stories by some of the most exciting talents in science fiction today--who happen to be women.

Here are unusual and stimulating visions of politics, time travel, motherhood, nature, war and peace, courage, survival of the fittest--and a few choice examples of the heroine in action.
