From the team that produces the Hugo-nominated Galactic Journey:

The Silver Age of Science Fiction saw a wealth of compelling speculative tales -- and women authors wrote some of the best of the best. Yet the stories of this era, especially those by women, have been largely unreprinted, unrepresented, and unremembered.

Until Now.

Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963) features fourteen selections of the best science fiction of the Silver Age by the unsung women authors of yesteryear, introduced by today's rising stars:

Unhuman Sacrifice (1958) by Katherine MacLean, introduced by Natalie Devitt

Wish Upon a Star (1958) by Judith Merril, introduced by Erica Frank

A Matter of Proportion (1959) by Anne Walker, introduced by Erica Friedman

The White Pony (1960) by Jane Rice, introduced by T.D. Cloud

Step IV (1960) by Rosel George Brown, introduced by Andi Dukleth

Of All Possible Worlds (1961) by Rosel George Brown, introduced by Cora Buhlert

Satisfaction Guaranteed (1961) by Joy Leache, introduced by A.J. Howells

The Deer Park (1962) by Maria Russell, introduced by Claire Weaver

To Lift a Ship (1962) by Kit Reed, introduced by Gideon Marcus

The Putnam Tradition (1963) by Sonya Hess Dorman, introduced by Lorelei Marcus

The Pleiades (1963) by Otis Kidwell Burger, introduced by Gwyn Conaway

No Trading Voyage (1963) by Doris Pitkin Buck, introduced by Marie Vibbert

Cornie on the Walls (1963) by Sydney van Scyoc, introduced by Rosemary Benton

Unwillingly to School (1958) by Pauline Ashwell, introduced by Janice Marcus

"Female authors wrote stories about coming of age...cautionary tales...stories set beyond our universe...You'll find these themes and more in this anthology. I hope that as you read their stories you don't try to 'feminine' versus 'masculine' elements. What you are about to read is really good science fiction, plain and simple." -from the foreword by Dr. Laura Brodian Freas Beraha

About the Author:
Award-winning science fiction author, Gideon Marcus, is the founder of Journey Press, producing the best science fiction, vintage and current. His web project, Galactic Journey, has twice been nominated for the Hugo and won the prestigious Serling Award in 2016.

A. J. Howells is Makeshift Press' publisher and managing editor. Additionally, he recently served as an editor for Journey Press' upcoming anthology, Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963). His full bibliography can be found here. He lives with his wife, two children, and two cats in the woods of northern Virginia where he spends far too much time reading comic books and listening to Sun Ra. In his spare time, he teaches full time.

By day a mild-mannered writer, cosplayer, and all-around nerd, Janice has a degree in Japanese Studies and an ongoing interest in Japanese pop culture. She's also the editorial backbone of Serling-Award winning and Hugo-nominated web project, galacticjourney.org, a time machine that brings context and relevance to the world of fifty-five years ago. An inverate member and moderator of countless convention panels, Janice runs the Galactic Journey presentations when the Journey hits the road. When she's not writing or editing, she's helping support her daughter's dreams of becoming a musician, a comic artist, and taking over the world.
Review:

"Female authors wrote stories about coming of age...cautionary tales...stories set beyond our universe...You'll find these themes and more in this anthology. I hope that as you read their stories you don't try to 'feminine' versus 'masculine' elements. What you are about to read is really good science fiction, plain and simple."

( Dr. Laura Brodian Freas Beraha)
