Selected and with introductions by Seon Manley and Gogo Lewis
For two centuries women writers, turning to the world of imagination to express themselves, have produced outstanding fantasy tales. In this collection Joan Aiken takes us to a future where sunlight never filters through; Madame Blavatsky takes us into the past when a young man experiments with the occult; E. Nesbit takes us to a more romantic past where death waits for the unwary in a summer-house; and Jane Roberts tells of a reincarnation that is more like possession.
The vigor and originality of the women writers represented in this collection point up the humor in their designation as "the gentle sex." Informative introductions to each story and biographical notes make this a collection to treasure as well as to enjoy, by the two experts who brought you Ladies of Horror, Mistresses of Mystery, and Grande Dames of Detection.
