Anthologies of SF with gender themes

This list includes anthologies that have a sex- or gender-theme. The anthology theme may be either themes within the stories themselves (e.g., feminist perspectives, women characters, queer characters, a gender-specific or historically-gender-associated role) or thematic selection of works based on the author (e.g., works by women authors).

Critical anthologies for feminist SF studies include:

• Daughters of Earth (anthology) ed. by Justine Larbalestier
• Women of Wonder: The Classic Years ed. by Pamela Sargent
• Women of Wonder: The Contemporary Years ed. by Pamela Sargent
• The James Tiptree, Jr. Award anthologies

Several good anthologies for supernatural fiction exist; consider:

• Daughters of the Moon
• Forbidden Journeys
• The Lifted Veil (aka The Penguin Book of Classic Fantasy by Women)
• What Did Miss Darrington See?

Regionalist anthologies of note include:

• Allskin (Czech women writers; not entirely SF)
• Restless Spirits (US ghost stories by women writers)
• Secret Weavers (Argentina & Chile)
• She's Fantastical (Australia)

Anthologies of particular historical note include:
