{"product_id":"the-female-man-isbn-9780807062999","title":"The Female Man","description":"Living in an altered past that never saw the end of the Great Depression, Jeannine, a librarian, is waiting to be married. Joanna lives in a different version of reality: she's a 1970s feminist trying to succeed in a man's world. Janet is from Whileaway, a utopian earth where only women exist. And Jael is a warrior with steel teeth and catlike retractable claws, from an earth with separate-and warring-female and male societies. When these four women meet, the results are startling, outrageous, and subversive.As hard and mean and fine as Flannery O'Connor. . . . I wish that everyone would read Joanna Russ' books. -Dorothy Allison, author of \u003ci\u003eBastard Out of Carolina \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Joanna Russ offers a gallery of some of the most interesting female protagonists in current fiction, women who are rarely victims and sometimes even victors, but always engaged sharply and perceptively with their fate.\" -Marge Piercy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A stunning book, a work to be read with great respect.
