About This Item
New York, London, Toronto, Sydney, Auckland: Doubleday/Foundation, [1988]. First edition. A fine copy in a fine first state dust jacket. (3173). Octavo, cloth backed boards. "Boys born in post-holocaust women's towns are delivered to their warrior fathers for military training at the age of five; at 15 they must choose between remaining with the men or returning to the women for a life of supposed servitude. Stavia, the protagonist of the imaginative and moving novel, loses her lover and son but finds an answer to the perennial problem posed by 80s feminist sf: what must be done to the men in order to create a society in which can live freely?" - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), pp. 152-153. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1127. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1986-2009.
