To celebrate International Women’s Day we’re sharing the cover of Distaff, an all-female Science Fiction Anthology featuring some SFFWorld regulars, Juliana Spink Mills, Susan Boulton, Jo Zebedee, and Shellie Horst.
The word Distaff has taken on a negative connotation lately. Originally a ‘distaff’ was a tool used in the spinning of wool. It refers to ‘women’s work’ in a traditionally passive-aggressive Victorian manner.
The anthology will be released in August of this year. It features a wide range of stories with little in common except their genre – science fiction – and the fact that they are women’s work from cover to cover.
