Women of Wonder: The Classic Years

Women of Wonder, The Classic Years: Science Fiction by Women from the 1940s to the 1970s is an anthology of short stories, novelettes, and novellas edited by Pamela Sargent. It was published in 1995, along a companion volume, Women of Wonder, The Contemporary Years: Science Fiction by Women from the 1970s to the Present.

The collection revisits fourteen works by female science fiction authors published in the out-of-print anthologies Women of Wonder, More Women of Wonder, and The New Women of Wonder and adds seven new pieces originally published between 1944 and 1978. It also includes a history of women in science fiction and a twelve-page list of recommended readings of science fiction by women from 1818 to 1978, which has been deemed "one of the highlights of the anthology."

The Women of Wonder anthologies were one of the first science fiction collections to focus on women in science fiction both as authors and as varied and complex characters.
