Get out your bingo cards

Apparently I've used that subject line before. Huh.

The review at this (new?) blog [snip] makes me wonder if there's a concerted effort to make this a Cause.

"This" relates to the reviewer dwelling briefly on the fact that apparently this editor's anthology has an all-male TOC.
