Excellent Satire of Sterotypes w/n SciFi

If ever there was a book to point and make fun of generic "women in skimpy armor", this is it. Excellent approach to all types of humor (subliminal and not so subliminal) towards the standard role of women in Science Fiction novels (skimpy armor, needing to be saved, etc.)

Funny! General good read!

I thought the actual book would be terrible, but then I noticed E. Moon's name on it so I thought. Oh what the hell, and bought it. It was worth it. Very funny, and engrosing. So engrosing in fact I stayed up till 3 am to finish it, and I have a test today! Oh well.. :)

A must to slip under your little girl's pillow!

This is a smart, funny and sexy book! Drawing from various science fiction writers both male and female, a collection of both halarious and inspiring stories portrays women as warriors, healers, and mothers, often at the same time. This is a must to slip under your little girl's pillow, and would make an excellent coming of age gift. Highly recommended.

Some real ladies kick a little...

I _like_ these ladies, they are like the "walk through anyone in the way" ladies in the R. A. Heinlein books, or Kira on Deep Space Nine, Ivanova on B5... only funny too.. Get it, get the sequel, and ask for another volume.
