"It's more than just an extra-large and particularly great issue of an already good magazine. It's a master class on all the ways in which women are writing — and have written — some of the best science fiction available."
NPR went on to include WDSF in their Best Books of 2014.
"This special, all women’s issue (anthology, really, weighing in at 488 pages), has a number of absolutely fantastic original and reprinted short stories, as well as essays by and about women working in science fiction. This is a must-buy."
"I truly believe that art saves lives, and it may be your art, or it may be your life."
