I enjoyed this collection very much. There were a few stories that weren't great, a few that were excellent, and most were pretty good. I thought Kate Wilhelm's story "The Funeral" was particularly interesting as it had some seeds of a society like Gilead in Handmaid's Tale, which Atwood would publish a decade later. "Of Mist, And Grass, and Sand" by Vonda McIntyre was utterly unexpected, and I was surprised to find myself near tears. Finally, I adored Eleanor Arnason's "The Warlord of Saturn's Moons" - a kindred spirit indeed.
Overall, I thought it was well worth the read.

Pamela Sargent did a wonderful job on this collection. It features an all-star lineup of women who write SF, an excellent introduction, and great stories from those writers.
