Released within the same year as How to Suppress Women’s Writing, The Zanzibar Cat is Joanna Russ’s first short story collection. (I’m not counting The Adventures of Alyx because it forms a mosaic narrative and is a sort of book of its own; The Zanzibar Cat is made up of unrelated, unconnected stories.) Arkham House published the collection in 1983, with a follow-up reprint by Baen in 1984. It is currently out of print. My edition is the Arkham House printing, which has some genuinely odd but kind-of-neat cover art and actually features a large picture of Russ on the back cover.
The original publication dates for the stories range from 1962 (“My Dear Emily”) to 1979 (“The Extraordinary Voyages of Amelie Bertrand”), with the vast majority of the stories having been published in the 1970s. Most of them come from anthologies, but there are a few magazines that crop up, like The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
