These stories feature strong and fearless female leads inspired by women from literature, history, and film—exciting and intriguing characters in the vein of Ellen Ripley, Lara Croft, Joan of Arc, Marvel’s Black Widow, La Femme Nikita, Katniss Everdeen, Hermione Granger, and Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road.This anthology will contain around twenty stories from the movers and shakers of the industry, whose characters defy the stereotypes with which the genre is rife. A few male authors are also included in the contents, specifically chosen because of their works involving realistic and inspiring female characters. With that said, expect to find super-smart, purpose-driven, ultra-confident heroines behind the wheels of all of these tales. Whether they are strong warriors, the silent but powerful type, or the timid who muster up the bravery needed to face down evil to protect the ones they love, the female leads in Hath No Fury will make their indelible marks on readers.Authors included in this anthology are:Seanan McGuire,Lian Hearn,Elaine Cunningham,Carol Berg,Gail Z.
