"Each story contains strength and compassion, even when the personal
cost is high. The depictions of battle and trauma are rarely graphic,
but they're as hard-hitting as the subject demands. This is a truly
impressive accomplishment for Guran and her contributors." - Publishers
Weekly (STARRED)
From fantastic legends and science fictional futures come compelling
tales of powerful women-or those who discover strength they did not know
they possessed-who fight because they must, for what they believe in,
for those they love, to simply survive, or who glory in battle itself.
Fierce or fearful, they are courageous and honorable-occasionally
unscrupulous and tainted-but all warriors worthy of the name.
Join bestselling authors, Elizabeth Bear, Nancy Kress, George R. R.
Martin, Elizabeth Moon and many others as they celebrate the STRONG
FEMALE PROTAGONIST in what Publishers Weekly calls an "epic
anthology".
