AAAGH!

"The Word For World is Forest" is an Ursula K. LeGuin novella

Get your Oregon female authors straight!

How about Vonda N. McIntyre's "Aztecs" ? Very good, and its now incorporated
into her latest full-length novel.

Then there's Joan D. Vinge's "Mother and Child", which is paired with her
"Fireship" in the book by that name.  Much better than the title story,
in my opinion.

Ursula's also done a good novelette by the name of "The Eye of the Heron".
It can be found in it's own book, but was originally in "Millenial Women".

I also enjoyed John Varley's "Persitance of Vision", though I'm not sure if
that's a novelette or just a short story.

I really enjoy reading short story anthologies, whether all the same author
or a compilation of a number of authors.  They're just long enough for a 
lunch break or before bed, but you don't have to interrupt your reading
for things you have to do (like work...).
