Women of Wonder, the Contemporary Years: Science Fiction by Women from the 1970s to the 1990s is an anthology of short stories, novelettes, and novellas edited by Pamela Sargent. It was published in 1995,[1] along a companion volume, Women of Wonder, The Classic Years: Science Fiction by Women from the 1940s to the 1970s.[2]

The collection presents twenty-one works by female science fiction authors written from 1978 to 1993, after the publication of the 1970s anthology series Women of Wonder, More Women of Wonder, and The New Women of Wonder.

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.[3][4]
