Off Limits: Tales of Alien Sex is a 1996 anthology edited by Ellen Datlow.
Sequel to Alien Sex.
Not an explicitly feminist anthology, but most of the stories deal in some manner of with constructions of gender and sex. (For the most part, not explicitly sexual, either; this is not a book of erotica/porn.) Maybe half the stories deal with constructions of prostitution, slavery, and exploitation of people from developing nations.
