(Thanks to ensmallen for the link to issues of Amazing Stories on the Internet Archive.)

May 1940: "Giants Out of the Sun" by Peter Horn (Giant robots, not SW. I can't remember if there's any interaction with women.)

June 1943: "Laboratory of the Mighty Mites" by Gilbert Rae Sonbergh (The cover gives away the plot twist that this is a shrinking-themed story.)

March 1944: "It's A Small World" by Robert Bloch

September 1952: "The Girl Who Loved Death" by Paul W. Fairman (This looks like it might be a modern reprint.)

July 1954: "Manhattan Miracle" by Bill Peters (The image on the cover is just a brief dream sequence in the story.)

November 1958: "Legacy of Terror" by Henry Slesar (author of "Bottle Baby") (Giant ant, not SW. And the giant ant in the story isn't as big as the one on the cover. It's about six feet long.)
