Inspired by this post over at Haikasoru, I dug out my copy of The 1978 Annual World's Best SF (Donald A. Wollhein, ed.)

The TOC includes:

John Varley
Joe Haldeman
Michael Bishop
Edward Bryant
John Brunner
Harlan Ellison
Raccoona Sheldon (whom the flap copy helpfully points out is James Tiptree Jr./Alice Sheldon)
Joan D. Vinge
James E. Gunn
Clifford D. Simak

It's a pretty pasty TOC, but they did better with women than certain anthologies that aren't almost 32 years old that I could name.

Most of the names were ones I recognize, although some of that is from working in a used bookstore going through boxes of dusty old shit rather than from any contemporary relevance.

Aside from "The Screwfly Solution" by that weirdo manhater Sheldon, none of them were stories I've ever read.
