Not just for women

This is a book for all readers. Not only are there the best short stories from the 19th and 20th Centuries, the history of the short story as developed by Texas women is well researched and presented, and the biographies are illuminating.As a Rocket Scientist (PhD in Aerospace Engr.) I was blown away by the first short story written before the invention of either the telephone and light bulb or concrete paving where Mohl has a man wake up 500 years later and interacts with robots, GPS, space travel, FAX machines, home entertainment centers, books printed on demand, just in time manufacturing and other applications of electric power that were amazingly accurate depictions of modern 21st Century.The Red Shoes story is a hoot!
