The Penguin Book of Modern Fantasy By Women
New York: Viking Press, 1995. First edition. Hardcover. First edition. Fine, fresh, like-new copy in equally fine, bright dust jacket. Hardcover. 560 pp. Fantasy has come to mean different things to different people. Joanna Russ describes the genre as 'the most realistic of all the arts, expressing as it does the contents of human souls directly.' This anthology aims to show that Fantasy has been an important vehicle for women, who have used it to express their creative diversity, without having to be boxed in and categorized by male-dominated literary establishment. Containing thirty-eight stories written from 1941 to present, authors such as Daphne du Maurier, Muriel Spark, Margaret Atwood, Fay Weldon, and much more give a vast range of complex emotions and imaginative worlds that make this a magical anthology to delve into.
