He said they would go to the river just as soon as he got through with those present. Whereupon those who had come forward told the preacher that as he had to go into the water they would be immersed also. The minister then announced for the congregation to assemble on the river to witness the baptisms. The Baptist and Methodist preachers reached the water about the same time, and after conferring with one another, agreed that the order would be for one minister to baptize one of his flock and the other one, and so on, alternately, until they were through. This took some time, as each had about fifty apiece to baptize. There was shouting and rejoicing during this baptismal scene.

Pamela Sargent has been compiling short science fiction collections by women for 25 years; she knows the sub-genre really well and manages to mine out the "headier" authors who often get pushed aside for pulp sci-fi. The collection is a great way to discover new authors and, as always, Sargent inclu

I started reading SF in 1964. I have read, I think, everything by Andre Norton and most of McCaffrey, and quite a lot of Le Guin and MZBradley. I found this collection rather dark. I have ophidiophobia, so I had difficulty reading the last story.

An impressive variety of stories. Personal favorites were: "And wild for to hold," "Cassandra," and "Scorched supper on New Niger."

Lots of great stories, interesting & new ideas I haven't read in other scifi before. Definitely worth a read if you like scifi - you may not otherwise encounter these authors.

Having read the original Women of Wonder when it first came out in the early 70s, it was quite fun to read this anthology so many years later. Some great stories, many very good ones and I think there was only one I didn't like at all.

A fantastic sampler of stories by fabulous women writers including an introduction to each author and a recommended reading list. This anthology won't save you, however.

It has "BloodChild," by Octavia Butler, but you'll still need BloodChild: and Other Stories, for the other stories and Butler's co

A quite satisfying wide-ranging collection. Some truly brilliant gems in here. Altogether it was lots of fun!

The tradition continues. Another wonderful anthology of top-shelf scifi.
