C.L. Moore's Jirel ov Joiry is apparently thee earliest (almost only?) sword & sorcery female chop-chop artist---stories I've come across in anthologies are mind-blowing---def. quality over quantity---wiki sums up: Contents (of original s/t collection)
"Jirel Meets Magic" (Weird Tales 1935)
"Black God's Kiss" (Weird Tales 1934)
"Black God's Shadow" (Weird Tales 1934)
"The Dark Land" (Weird Tales 1936)
"Hellsgarde" (Weird Tales 1939)
A sixth story, "Quest of the Starstone", written in collaboration with Henry Kuttner, teamed Jirel with Moore's science fiction hero Northwest Smith. It was finally collected with the other Jirel stories in the 2007 Black God's Kiss.[1][2]
