Jaelyn reviewed The Female Man by Joanna Russ (Beacon paperback ;)
Review of 'The Female Man' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
A 70s multiversal feminist exploration of four women visiting each other’s universes and exploring their different experiences and views on gender inequality. From a world that never exited to the Great Depression to one where all men died out 800 years ago. Each takes back their new understanding from their counterparts back to their own world.
It’s a fascinating book, though my qualm with this is a short segment that has a bit of second-wave transphobia in it. It’s not long but was a little creepy.
