I was a preteen/teenager when these stories were written but I was able to connect and appreciate them. The authors all have distinct writing styles and some I enjoyed more than others. A few stories made me think, others made me laugh, and some confused me, but I enjoyed them all. If you enjoy science fiction, especially written by women, you should read this book.
