Imaro: Imaro is a sword and sorcery novel written by Charles R. Saunders, and published by DAW Books in 1981.  It may have been one of the first forays into the sword and sorcery genre by a black author.

Sword and Sorceress series: The "Sword and Sorceress" series is a series of fantasy anthologies originally edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and originally published by DAW Books.  As she explained in the foreword to the first volume, she created the anthology to redress the lack of strong female protagonists in the subgenre of sword and sorcery.  At the time, most female characters in sword and sorcery were little more than stock damsels in distress, or pawns who were distributed at the conclusion of the story as "bad-conduct prizes" (Bradley's term) for the male protagonists.  Many of the early sword-and-sorcery works featured attitudes toward women that Bradley considered appalling.

The collection was later gathered together with "Conan the Liberator" and "Conan and the Spider God" into the omnibus collection "Sagas of Conan" (Tor Books, 2004).  The story has also been translated into Italian and French.

Sword and sorcery: Sword and sorcery (S&S) is a subgenre of fantasy characterized by sword-wielding heroes engaged in exciting and violent adventures.
