Reviews
"The stories, arranged thematically, flow into and bounce off of one another in a thought-provoking, dramatic arrangement that displays each piece in its best possible light." -- Publishers Weekly, "This 'highly curated' collection of feminist speculative fiction definitely bears the VanderMeer stamp: not only choosing their stories from every genre of the fantastic, including horror and fantasy but offering a greater preponderance of the surreal and the richly grotesque than one might expect in an anthology on this theme." --Gwyneth Jones, New York Review of Science Fiction, "A necessary, well-curated anthology that shows the singular political power of speculative fiction." -- Kirkus Reviews "The authors are all feminists and sisters of a speculative fiction revolution . . . as such, their role is to explore possible worlds and ways of being, leaving it to the readers to draw their own lessons from the scenarios painted." --Erica Smith, Peace News "This book is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction, feminist or not, and would be an exciting text to build a women's studies course around." --Diane Karns, worldliteraturetoday.org "The strains of feminism are diverse, with varying degrees of satire, uplifting hear-me-roar grrl power, and horror-filled dystopian warnings. These stories represent women of different cultures, ages, sexual orientations--even species." --Ginny Kaczmarek, ginnstonic.blogspot.com, "The stories here all examine aspects of women's relationships with the world. They address social and gender roles, sexuality, personal relationships, relationships with work." --Elaine Gallagher, Interzone, "The editors have searched far and wide for source material . . . a diverse celebration of speculative fiction. This is a fine anthology, regardless of genre or politics." --Keith Brooke, Guardian, "This is a strong and valuable entry in that conversation about genre and gender, culture and context, in which we are all engaged." --Kari Sperring, strangehorizons.com, "This is an eclectic, astonishing anthology of some the best writing that women speculative fiction writers have done over the past several decades." --Andrew Andrews, truereviewonline.com, "This fascinating collection illustrates how writing trends from new-wave sf and feminist speculative fiction reflect changes in culture and in perspectives on women and feminism." --Vanessa Bush, Booklist, "The stories in Sisters of the Revolution does exactly what you'd want them to--they tear apart cliches, they question gender and it's implications, they look at identity using satire and humour and darkness with a sharp intellectual examination of stigma and society's rules." --Mahvesh Murad, tor.com, "The VanderMeers are a literary power couple." --Boing Boing "A very laudable trait of the editors is their egalitarianism, their refusal to distinguish between lowbrow and highbrow, using quality and impact as their only yardsticks." --Barnes and Noble, "A necessary, well-curated anthology that shows the singular political power of speculative fiction." -- Kirkus Reviews, "The VanderMeers have compiled one of the best volumes of feminist -- or any other -- science fiction in years." --Elizabeth Hand, Los Angeles Times, "A necessary, well-curated anthology that shows the singular political power of speculative fiction." -- Kirkus Reviews "The authors are all feminists and sisters of a speculative fiction revolution . . . as such, their role is to explore possible worlds and ways of being, leaving it to the readers to draw their own lessons from the scenarios painted." --Erica Smith, Peace News "This book is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction, feminist or not, and would be an exciting text to build a women's studies course around." --Diane Karns, worldliteraturetoday.org, "A necessary, well-curated anthology that shows the singular political power of speculative fiction." -- Kirkus Reviews "The authors are all feminists and sisters of a speculative fiction revolution . . . as such, their role is to explore possible worlds and ways of being, leaving it to the readers to draw their own lessons from the scenarios painted." --Erica Smith, Peace News

Synopsis
Sisters of the Revolution gathers a highly curated selection of feminist speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more) chosen by one of the most respected editorial teams in speculative literature today, the award-winning Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Including stories from the 1970s to the present day, the collection seeks to expand the conversation about feminism while engaging the reader in a wealth of imaginative ideas. From the literary heft of Angela Carter to the searing power of Octavia Butler, Sisters of the Revolution gathers daring examples of speculative fiction's engagement with feminism. Dark, satirical stories such as Eileen Gunn's "Stable Strategies for Middle Management" and the disturbing horror of James Tiptree Jr.'s "The Screwfly Solution" reveal the charged intensity at work in the field. Including new, emerging voices such as Nnedi Okorafor and featuring international contributions from Angelica Gorodischer and many more, this collection seeks to expand the ideas of both contemporary fiction and feminism to new fronts. Moving from the fantastic to the futuristic, subtle to surreal, these stories will provoke thoughts and emotions about feminism like no other book available today. Other contributors include Anne Richter, Carol Emshwiller, Eleanor Arnason, Hiromi Goto, Joanna Russ, Karin Tidbeck, Kelley Eskridge, Kelly Barnhill, Kit Reed, L. Timmel Duchamp, Leena Krohn, Leonora Carrington, Pamela Sargent, Rose Lemberg, Susan Palwick, Tanith Lee, Ursula K.
