Wonderful book. Very anti-men, pro-women. All the descendents of Mother are female, healthy, strong, and intelligent--leaders in their fields. They get together and leave. It's a science fiction story, but doesn't rely heavily on science. A way had been found to reproduce without sperm (which was, of course, made illegal). The book has few conflicts. Technically, everything goes smoothly. Most of the conflicts are social/ psychological/personal relationships. There are several very good love scenes. It makes me want to be a lesbian. I'm overwhelmed. Larry Fenske {ihnp4, hplabs}!hpfcla!larry-f
