[Adult - feminist satire] Originally published 1992
Edited by: Rick Blade
The author, an expert on Pre-Indo-European neolithic matriarchies, uses the story as a vehicle to comment on women's role in modern society. Amusing, satirical, and with a star-crossed romance as well, the story suggests how women in modern society have been devalued, and offers visions of how women could again embrace their powerful female identity.
