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. Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963) features fourteen selections of the best science fiction of the Silver Age by the unsung women authors of yesteryear, introduced by today's rising stars: Unhuman Sacrifice (1958) by Katherine MacLean, introduced by Natalie Devitt Wish Upon a Star (1958) by Judith Merril, introduced by Erica Frank A Matter of Proportion (1959) by Anne Walker, introduced by Erica Friedman The White Pony (1960) by Jane Rice, introduced by T.D. Cloud Step IV (1960) by Rosel George Brown, introduced by Andi Dukleth Of All Possible Worlds (1961) by Rosel George Brown, introduced by Cora Buhlert Satisfaction Guaranteed (1961) by Joy Leache, introduced by A.J. Howells The Deer Park (1962) by Maria Russell, introduced by Claire Weaver To Lift a Ship (1962) by Kit Reed, introduced by Gideon Marcus The Putnam Tradition (1963) by Sonya Hess Dorman, introduced by Lorelei Marcus The Pleiades (1963) by Otis Kidwell Burger, introduced by Gwyn Conaway No Trading Voyage (1963) by Doris Pitkin Buck, introduced by Marie Vibbert Cornie on the Walls (1963) by Sidney van Scyoc, introduced by Rosemary Benton Unwillingly to School (1958) by Pauline Ashwell, introduced by Janice Marcus "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."

Space-opera heroines, gender-bending aliens, post-apocalyptic pregnancies, changeling children, interplanetary battles of the sexes, and much more: a groundbreaking new collection of classic American science fiction by women from the 1920s to the 1960s SF-expert Lisa Yaszek presents the biggest and best survey of the female tradition in American science fiction ever published, a thrilling collection of twenty-five classic tales. From Pulp Era pioneers to New Wave experimentalists, here are over two dozen brilliant writers ripe for discovery and rediscovery, including Leslie F. Stone, Judith Merril, Leigh Brackett, Kit Reed, Joanna Russ, James Tiptree Jr., and Ursula K. Le Guin. Imagining strange worlds and unexpected futures, looking into and beyond new technologies and scientific discoveries, in utopian fantasies and tales of cosmic horror, these women created and shaped speculative fiction as surely as their male counterparts. Their provocative, mind-blowing stories combine to form a thrilling multidimensional voyage of literary-feminist exploration and recovery.
