Review: Jabberwocky

[oldcharliebrown]

"Sean Wallace has put together a brief anthology of weird fantastical stories (mostly quite short) and poetry, Jabberwocky. The stories are all by women, and so are almost all of the poems. I liked best Sonya Taaffe's "Shadowplay", a brief intense picture of regret over lost love, and Ainsley Dicks' "In Grandmother's House", an interesting reimagining of "Little Red Riding Hood"."—Locus.

Why do they feel the need to showcase the gender of the authors? Plenty of anthologies are predominantly male-authored, and no one mentions it.

Perhaps because in genre it's still unusual enough to merit a mention?
