Women of War

In the real world, many women are still struggling for equality, but science fiction and fantasy provide a stage for the portrayal of women who have come fully into their own. Here, a talented group of writers has taken up the challenge of creating strong, well-rounded female protagonists, more than able to defend themselves and take the helm--whether in space, on distant worlds, in our own future, or in fantasy realms where a civilization's fate hangs in the balance.Introduction by Tanya Huff and Alexander PotterFighting Chance by Sharon Lee and Steve MillerPainted Child of Earth by Rosemary EdghillShe’s Such a Nasty Morsel by Julie E.
