Last month we read "The Female Man" by Joanna Russ. It was quite different from any other science fiction book I have ever read. I considered it preachy. But it was written in the mid-seventies and the world was changing quickly. Women were entering the work place more and more.
I had trouble relating to some aspects of the book, I don't think I have as much life experience in many ways. I have not had many jobs yet, I have not dated many people. Thinking about it now I can see times where perhaps being a woman holds me back. Traveling in Peru, for example. I did not feel comfortable traveling alone. I wish I had.
This month's book is "Woman on the Edge of Time" by Marge Piercy. It's about a Chicana woman in New York. She ends up in an asylum. I'm not really sure how it's science fiction yet. But I'm sure it will become obvious soon.
