Available for the first time in North America, this unique anthology of women's speculative fiction, magic realism and fantasy blends stories and poems to fully explore the science fiction genre. As Ursula K. Le Guin writes in her foreword: Fantasy has always been a rebel's mode, a means of sneakily saying unwelcome or disturbing things about one's society, or of offering a more or less plausible alternative to it. The stories and poems in this book are all, in one way or another, fantastic, all are rebellious, subversive, critical, or teasing, cheerfully or fiercely knocking the posts from under the status quo. Contributors include Carmel Bird, Isobelle Carmody, Henriette Dugdale, M. Barnard Eldershaw, Sarah Endacott, Leanne Frahm, Alison Goodman, Sue Isle, Lisa Jacobson, Berni M. Janssen, Gabrielle Lord, Rosaleen Love, Philippa Maddern, Hyllus Maris, Maurilia Meehan, Yvonne Rousseau, Jane Routley, Petrina Smith, Lucy Sussex, Daisy Utemorrah, Ania Walwicz, Nadia Wheatley and Tess Williams.

Industry Reviews

'Fantasy has always been a rebel's mode, a means of sneakily saying unwelcome or disturbing things about one's society, or of offering a more or less plausible alternative to it. The stories and poems in this book are all, in one way or another, fantastic, all are rebellious, subversive, critical, or teasing, cheerfully or fiercely knocking the posts from under the Status Quo... Mothers and daughters, women friends, women lovers, women and children, women and animals - the book is full of pairings, interweavings, minglings, transformations, transgressions of boundaries between generations, between species, between realms. Borders which we're used to seeing well sprayed and marked with neat piles of scat become crossings, trysting places, meeting grounds... ' - Ursula K. Le Guin
