Summary: Some real ladies kick a little...
Review: I _like_ these ladies, they are like the "walk through anyone in the way" ladies in the R. A. Heinlein books, or Kira on Deep Space Nine, Ivanova on B5... only funny too.. Get it, get the sequel, and ask for another volume.

Summary: Excellent Satire of Sterotypes w/n SciFi
Review: If ever there was a book to point and make fun of generic "women in skimpy armor", this is it. Excellent approach to all types of humor (subliminal and not so subliminal) towards the standard role of women in Science Fiction novels (skimpy armor, needing to be saved, etc.)

Summary: True "Chick-Lit"
Review: Required reading for all Xena-fans! Great stories in their own right, and just the thing for the days without Xena reruns. Don't forget to buy the other books in this series, too!

Summary: The Revenge of the Stereotypes
Review: This book is hysterical, and anyone who thinks that this imitates the "Xena" craze missed the point. It takes the lame fantasy stereotypes and puts them through the RoncoMatic.Of course, the essential irony present in Xena must have missed some folks, too. If you like irony, and you're familiar with the usual fantasy stereotype women, you'll like this. If you have no sense of humor, skip it.

Summary: flatfooted and unmemorable
Review: This book is only for people who become wildly exited at the very thought of healthy young women dressed like ancient warriors. None of the stories show the slightest inkling of wit or imagination. This book was obviously written merely to cash in on the Xena craze.

Summary: A must to slip under your little girl's pillow!
Review: This is a smart, funny and sexy book! Drawing from various science fiction writers both male and female, a collection of both halarious and inspiring stories portrays women as warriors, healers, and mothers, often at the same time. This is a must to slip under your little girl's pillow, and would make an excellent coming of age gift. Highly recommended.

Summary: Pun-nishment
Review: When I stumbled on this series, I thought "this should be fun" with good authors working with the opportunity to be creative and insightful and wise. Instead I read some simple, contrived, and boring stories that showed that the authors didn't "get it". From the nagging mother to the stories based on bad puns, I can't think of one story that I wanted to share with my wife. The Tamora Pierce "Alanna" series was more on target, even if it was a teen series.
