"James has done a good job of assembling a lineup that satisfies more than it disappoints and is a properly varied representation of feminist science fiction."

Business Secrets from the Stars by David Dvorkin
Malcolm Erskine is a moderately successful writer who hits the big time with a book of nonsensical business advice that he claims was telepathically beamed into his mind by a top business executive living in a faraway galaxy.
It's Business Secrets From The Stars!
Malcolm succeeds in making a bundle. But he also attracts the attention of loopy politicians, dangerous televangelists, senile assassins, and even stranger and creepier types. The only way Malcolm can escape disaster is to change the world.
"A broad and bitter political satire. I was laughing out loud."

Explore the truth of what it means to be female, and discover the wisdom and the strength of a woman in a grand universe without limits. Far-ranging scientific speculation meets action and adventure, grand space opera, thrilling discovery, and intelligent protagonists...
"Warrior Wisewoman combines stories of women in struggles that range across political, biological, social, and even military lines in a future variably far away...women who may or may not fight with weapons, but always strive for something beyond the fight. Inventive, unusual, these are stories to ponder over time...whether the reader agrees that the women are warriors, or wise, or that anyone can be both."
"The stories in Warrior Wisewoman create new ways of looking at ideas, science fiction, and living itself at a time when we are all hungry for new thoughts expressed in new ways. The stories are austere, lyrical, and fuse science with ethics and emotion in a way that is very rare. If Le Guin’s people who walked away from Omelas told us their stories, they would write like this."
"The 12 stories in this collection, intended as an sf companion of the late Marion Zimmer Bradley's classic "Sword and Sorceress" series, feature women protagonists as they take on the roles of either warrior or wisewoman-or both-to cope with their surroundings and find their inner truths... Suitable for most sf or short story collections."

J. by William Sanders
"Girl meets girl meets girl, and she is them. J. is a high-energy sprint across parallel realities. Did I mention that I'm in love with Mad Jack?"
Three women in three worlds:. Dr. Ann Lucas, former NASA scientist and now a drugged and helpless mental patient, in a reality almost but not quite our own. Mad Jack, one eyed gunwoman and lover of women, in a ruined and lawless wasteland world. Jay Younger, living in the here and now, known to her readers simply as Jay—a science fiction writer whose literary career is on the brink of disaster, an alcoholic and emotional wreck. When the impossible becomes real and boundaries between worlds start to dissolve, the fates of these three tormented, brave and intense women come together in a remarkable and daring story that examines the basic nature of reality and of human identity. William Sanders was born in Arkansas in 1942 and served with the US Army Security Agency during the Vietnam War. He is the author of more than 20 published books and many stories and articles; his short fiction has been nominated for major awards, including the Hugo and Nebula, and has twice won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History.
