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).
