hrjones's review against another edition
I'm not posting a proper review because I'm a contributor to the anthology and feel that would be inappropriate. If you're interested, I did write up my thoughts on it on my blog. http://hrj.livejournal.com/586013.html
lc_mitchell's review against another edition
4.0
A really lovely, high quality collection, will definitely revisit at some point and read more work from a lot of these authors.
The reason I did not give this wonderful collection a five is because the stories could be far less white/Europe & America centric. I also thought the introduction was a little illogical, yes it's nice to take a break from the busy world and escape into the past, but how much is the past an escape when you inevitably have to talk about the things queer woman have had to sacrifice (which is a theme in many of the stories).
