Best Science Fiction by Women

Science fiction can appear to be a very masculine genre, all that technology just makes it seem like toys for the boys. But that is far from the truth. There have always been women writing science fiction, indeed some of the best and most important works of science fiction have been written by women. There are even those who would argue that science fiction wouldn't exist if not for a woman.

So get your head around stories that will seriously change the way you see the world. These are stories that have shaped science fiction, stories that explore the new in a way science fiction was always meant to do but so rarely achieves. Even so, the 25 novels and story collections we've brought together here barely scratch the surface of the great sf by women that's waiting to be discovered.
