The Female Man

Joanna Russ · 1975

Four women (Joanna, Janet, Jeannine, Jael) from four parallel Earths at different stages of feminist revolution confront each other. Russ's 1975 novel explodes the realist contract of SF with formal radicalism. It remains the most important feminist SF novel ever written.
