The Adventures of Alyx

Is this Joanna Russ' earliest work? Certainly the first stories of a women adventurer in classical times are among her most conventional adventure yarns, but they still have a nuance of character and gender identity that look ahead the the futuristic novel included here (and reviewed by me elsewhere in a stand-alone edition -- Picnic on Paradise) and at last to the closing meta-story set in the 20s and looking further ahead to her magnum opus, The Female Man. Quick but deft and well-conceived. A good companion, perhaps, to her friend Delaney's later forays into early civilization and fantasy in his Neveryon stories.

I believe it includes some of her earliest work after she stopped writing more traditional sci-fi. The Hidden Side of the Moon includes some of her very earliest stories, as well as others throughout her career. I have to say, though, I took a break from that one over a year ago and have yet to return to it.

You're right, those really span her whole career. I'd imagine the later ones would be especially interesting even if the earliest were not.
