Description: The Female Man by Joanna Russ "Originally published by Bantam Books, Inc., in 1975"--T.p. verso. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Living in an altered past that never saw the end of the Great Depression, Jeannine, a librarian, is waiting to be married. Joanna lives in a different version of reality- shes a 1970s feminist trying to succeed in a mans world. Janet is from Whileaway, a utopian earth where only women exist. And Jael is a warrior with steel teeth and catlike retractable claws, from an earth with separate-and warring-female and male societies. When these four women meet, the results are startling, outrageous, and subversive. Author Biography Nebula and Hugo Award winner Joanna Russ is the author of The Adventures of Alyx, Extra(Ordinary) People, and To Write Like a Woman, among many other books. Review As hard and mean and fine as Flannery OConnor. . . . I wish that everyone would read Joanna Russ books. -Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out of Carolina "Joanna Russ offers a gallery of some of the most interesting female protagonists in current fiction, women who are rarely victims and sometimes even victors, but always engaged sharply and perceptively with their fate." -Marge Piercy"A stunning book, a work to be read with great respect. Its also screamingly funny." -Elizabeth Lynn, San Francisco Review of Books "A work of frightening power, but it is also a work of great fictional subtlety. . . .
