Sisters of the Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology by Jeff VanderMeer, Ann VanderMeer

3.0

A few standout stories, but most I thought were mediocre or disappointing (one was downright transphobic, and I have no idea how it got included). Plus this anthology was just real depressing. I know there are feminist sf/f stories out there that are not just about woman being brutalized, but this collection includes few of them, and makes for a grim read.

My top stories from this collection:
The Forbidden Words of Margaret A. by L. Timmel Duchamp
The Grammarian's Five Daughters by Eleanor Arnason

Runners up:
The Screwfly Solution by James Tiptree Jr.
Gestella by Susan Palwick
Thirteen Ways of Looking at Space/Time by Cat Valente
