'''Strange Bedfellows: Sex and Science Fiction''' is a 1972 anthology edited by [[Thomas N. Scortia]].

This anthology is focused on sex and science fiction, and not necessarily from a feminist perspective. Most of the stories, in fact, say either nothing, or nothing good, about human gender relations. Two women authors in the entire anthology.
