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.
