\nIrritated by an old science fiction anthology, where out of the hundred stories only five were by women, Ian Sales put together the list below of a hundred great science fiction stories by women<\/a>. A list like that is always a good way of hearing about writers you haven’t encountered before, so I want to keep this simple.
