1985 collection of stories by Joanna Russ.

Russ' feminist work began with the Alyx stories, published between 1967 and 1970 and collected in The Adventures of Alyx. Alyx is a smart, tough woman, a thief and assassin, sensual, intelligent and not beautiful. With Alyx, Russ deliberately countered prevailing gender stereotypes in SF and in her own writing she has said that Alyx was a breakthrough for her.
