The Best Science Fiction of the Year #2 is an anthology by Terry Carr, in which he collected the best short Science Fiction published in 1972.
Of the sixteen stories in this volume three are by women writers, and one is a collaboration between husbands, Alexei and Cory Panshin.
This made this anthology by far the most women friendly of the three anthologies that appeared about this year, the others being The 1973 Annual World's Best SF by Donald A. Wolheim, containing "The Man Who Walked Home" by James Tiptree, Jr. and "Thus Love Betrays Us" by Phyllis MacLennon and Best SF: 1972 by Brian Aldiss and Harry Harrison, that managed to miss the women writers of that year entirely.
