Grossly Mistitled

Many of these stories are not about women, and more often than not, the women in them are mere plot devices... one or two appear to be afterthoughts, as if the author realized at the very last second that they'd forgotten the assignment. Carrie Vaughn delivers what I think to be her best work and Jim Butcher surprised me with the bones his lady characters. Megan Lindholm's offering is of course an exquisite slice of intelligence, although I was not convinced it belonged in this collection. There were a few stories that sort of felt like they were written for a male lead, but weren't awful. And then there was a story that shouldn't have been shared publicly at all. It's a rancid turd smeared on my mind and it is this piece of grotesquerie that makes this whole anthology absolutely not worth it's weight in straw.
