The Female Man by Joanna Russ
5 of 5 stars
This was an excellent experimental work of science fiction and hard social commentary. Once you got into the flow of the work after about a dozen pages, it was fast reading up through the end. Whenever it seemed to slow down, all of a sudden it would speed up. If it was banging away on some important feminist issue, it would shift gears and move into another issue. Russ never gave you too much to handle but was merciless in hammering home her points. I loved her issues, her writing, and the story.
I agree with what one reviewer wrote, this story is as relevant, valid and important today as it was the day it was written. Sara’s post is great and it was cool to see so many similar passages that grabbed our attention.
I highly recommend this work.
