FROM USA TODAY LIFE
From an impressive sisterhood of YA writers comes an edge-of-your-seat anthology of historical fiction and fantasy featuring a diverse array of daring heroines.
Criss-cross America — on dogsleds and ships, stagecoaches and trains — from pirate ships off the coast of the Carolinas to the peace, love, and protests of 1960s Chicago. Join fifteen of today’s most talented writers of young adult literature on a thrill ride through history with American girls charting their own course. They are monsters and mediums, bodyguards and barkeeps, screenwriters and schoolteachers, heiresses and hobos. They're making their own way in often-hostile lands, using every weapon in their arsenals, facing down murderers and marriage proposals. And they all have a story to tell.

Are you looking forward to reading A Tyranny of Petticoats? What authors are you most excited about?
Oh man. I don't do a lot of anthologies because I typically find them uneven in quality, but that is one great lineup. And the concept is basically written for me. Thanks for bringing this one to my attention--it had completely slipped my notice.
ReplyDeleteI am picky about anthologies for the same reason you stated above and I hope this one is promising.
