1: This is educational and interesting.
This book was required for my college course. Even so, it is surprisingly worth reading for those interested in women authors and their works. It has a sampling of most eras, including modern. It also includes a mini-bio of each author. It includes excerpts from novels, short stories, essays, speeches, and poems.

3: VERY Happy!
Was shipped insanely fast, I think maybe a day? But anyway, just in time for the semester to start on Monday! Thanks again Amazon!

4: Grrreeaat book!
This book is great! Too bad I didn't have to take the class after all.

5: A disappointing addition to Norton
Norton anthologies traditionally provide a thoughtful and diverse selection but I was enormously disappointed in this volume. The stories included were surprising and I was very pleased to see authors included that I never would have thought would be, such as Octavia Butler and Ursula le Guin. However, the footnotes felt as though they had been written for high school students, or perhaps for people who lived under a rock.
Bob Dylan needs to have an explanation?
In addition, the pentacle is not a sign of the occult.
If Norton got the facts right, I would be very pleased with this volume but because they are lacking... I can only give this four stars.
