The Women's Press (http://www.the-womens-press.com/) was founded in 1978 by Stephanie Dowrick and "is dedicated to publishing incisive feminist fiction and non-fiction by outstanding women writers from all round the world." They publish a wide variety of works by women, including a substantial number of SF works.

"The Women's Press" is distinct from the Canadian press, "Women's Press".

Blurb

While not focused solely on SF, The Women's Press offers a science fiction series which has published and reprinted many significant feminist titles.

"The Women's Press science fiction series features new titles by contemporary writers and reprints of classic works by well known authors. Our aim is to publish science fiction by women and about women; to present exciting and provocative feminist images of the future that will offer an alternative vision of science and technology, and challenge male domination of the science fiction tradition itself. We hope that the series will encourage more women both to read and to write science fiction, and give the traditional science fiction readership a new and stimulating perspective."
