"A painstaking work of scholarship and a fascinating collection of stories, poetry, and biography, Sisters of Tomorrow is a welcome addition to the history of women in the field of science fiction. It's exciting to realize how much 'New Women' in a variety of roles defined the genre in its first decades."---Gwyneth Jones, author of Life: The Fictional Biography of a Female Scientist of Genius
"An indispensable introduction, overview, and guide to women writers of SF in the pulps from 1929 to the 1940s, making available work previously accessible only to those with access to fast-disintegrating pulp magazines. No scholar of science fiction should be without this remarkable book." ---Justine Larbalestier, author of The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction
