Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958 to 1963): Yesterday's luminaries introduced by today's rising stars
Description
The Silver Age of Science Fiction saw a wealth of compelling speculative tales -- and women authors wrote some of the best of the best. Yet the stories of this era, especially those by women, have been largely unreprinted, unrepresented, and unremembered.
Until Now.

"Female authors wrote stories about coming of age...cautionary tales...stories set beyond our universe...You'll find these themes and more in this anthology. I hope that as you read their stories you don't try to 'feminine' versus 'masculine' elements. What you are about to read is really good science fiction, plain and simple."
(from the foreword by Dr. Laura Brodian Freas Beraha)

I cannot recommend Rediscovery highly enough." Bonnie Milani, author"An exemplary assortment of SF from half a century ago, this anthology should appeal to people familiar with the period and people unfamiliar with it wishing to gain familiarity...Kudos to the editing team for going beyond the usual selections for the classic authors featured herein. Most of these stories were entirely new to me." James Davis Nicoll, Hugo-nominee
