Here is the all-new second edition of the ground-breaking anthology which was named the Best Fantasy Anthology of the Year in 1980 by the Sixth World Fantasy Convention— Twelve original stories of female prowess, daring and swordplay which challenge the tradition of male warriors in heroic fantasy. Thrilling high adventure for every science fiction and fantasy reader, male and female alike, written by some of the giants of the field: Tanith Lee, George R. R. Martin, Lee Killough, Jo Clayton, E M. Busby and more! Too long have the realms of heroic fantasy been largely a man's domain. We give you AMAZONS II, whose brave heroines range over centuries and across worlds to help rectify this sad state of affairs!
