The first review of this week at @strangehorizons.bsky.social is from @octavia-cade.bsky.social, of Pippa Goldschmidt’s BSFA-shortlisted collection from @goldsf.bsky.social.

“I didn’t quite shove all the other reviewers out of the way to get to this, but it was a near thing.”

On lives in science:
Schrödinger’s Wife (and Other Possibilities) by Pippa Goldschmidt
If there’s a repeated theme in Schrödinger’s Wife (and Other Possibilities) it’s how the practice of science mirrors the life of its practitioners.

Great review of “The Mune” by Sue Dawes, from @goldsf.bsky.social.

“The Mune” is our newest Gold SF title.
30 Victorian women - “surplus” mothers - are shipwrecked on an island in a parallel universe. To survive, they must create a new society. How will they shake off the patriarchal chains that bound them & raise their children to be free?
