Thank you to the editor for providing a review copy. 

All I have to hear is "feminine rage" and I'm all the way in. Like any anthology, it's a mixed bag. I didn't care for two of the stories, but there are some very impressive offerings included. If you like stories in which you can nod and say good for her, this is the one. 3.5 stars
