Chicks ahoy! - Esther Friesner

Here they come, and they're out for blood! For too long have hot-blooded babes in brass bras and chain link bikinis been held up to scorn as the embodiment of male fantasy wish-fulfillment and non-fictionality. You think their swords won't cut, their clubs won't crush? You think they look cute? It's time to take sword-swinging amazons more seriously! Well, maybe not too seriously. After all, the popular Chicks in Chainmail series wasn't known for stark drama and solemn think-pieces. In fact, they made a lot of people laugh. And now the first three books in the series are combined in one attractively-priced Omni-Trade Paperback volume: Chicks in Chainmail, Did You Say Chicks?, and Chicks 'n Chained Males. Featuring stories of fierce female fighters by Harry Turtledove, Roger Zelazny, Elizabeth Moon, Jan and S.M. Stirling, K. D. Wentworth, Lawrence Watt-Evans, and Esther Friesner.
