Quote from the anti-women in science, anti-feminist "Introduction" by Virginia Kidd

"But what seems to me one of the most impressive aspects of the collection is that all of these science-fiction writers avoid hard-core science fiction for sociology, soft-pedal radical feminism for humanism, and write about women simply as women." – Virginia Kidd

These stories deserve better than Kidd's second-rate, misogynist introduction and so do the women who read them.
