Men Writing Science Fiction as Women by Mike Resnick

Description: Edited by Mike Resnick

In the days of pulp magazines and space operas, science fiction was considered to be a totally male-oriented genre, and any woman who wanted to write in the field was forced to disguise her gender either by using a pseudonym or initials. Veteran editor and writer Mike Resnick posed a challenge to a number of today's top male talents: Can you write not just about a female protagonist but from the actual perspective of a woman? Here is how nineteen men responded to that challenge. With stories by Barry N. Malzberg, Robert J. Sawyer, Stephen Leigh, Robert Sheckley, Jack Dann, David Gerrold, and Dean Wesley Smith.
