Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction by Lisa Kröger, Melanie R. Anderson

informative slow-paced

2.75

While informative, the book feels rushed. The introductions to the subgenres are the most lengthy sections of the book and the women themselves often only get what amounts to 3-4 pages (in the Kindle edition). It is a surface level look at the history of women in speculative fiction and I wish the author took a deeper look at the topics chosen and then cultural views that drove them.
