Authors from India and Australia collaborated in writing the short stories. There are sci-fi and fantasy stories, stories of girls finding their voice, all so interesting and engaging.
Loved this collection. Some very memorable stories, and I really enjoyed the different formats. Hard recommend for secondary set texts.
This is a book where you should think and focus to read. I like how the writer(s) combine feminist and dystopian here.
fast-paced

Was not a fan of this one, unfortunately. Eachbof the stories didn't have the synergy that I like in an anthology.

Uneven. Some gems, several others that felt unfinished - like drafts that could eventually be great, but weren't there yet.
I hadn't read any of these authors before, so that was very cool, and the idea of cross-cultural collaboration when you don't know the person personally is awesome. The stories are hit or miss for me, but that's pretty typical in a collection like this.
Really, there were only two or three stories I didn't outwardly love from this. The rest I really enjoyed.
I like the idea of this book, the collaboration of women writers, women- themed stories and I recommend it to anyone who likes futuristic fiction and girls who need these alternative views of the world. For the right reader, I think this book would be terrific. I'm completely the wrong reader, middle aged feminist who dislikes short stories and hates science fiction. Don't let my dislike of this book dissuade you from reading it, if you at all might like it. It just wasn't for me.

I really enjoyed most of these stories. There were a couple that left me confused, but overall I think this is a great anthology
