More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Tepper's finest novel to date is set in a post-holocaust feminist dystopia that offers only two political alternatives: a repressive polygamist sect that is slowly self-destructing through inbreeding and the matriarchal dictatorship called Women's Country. Here, in a desperate effort to prevent another world war, the women have segregated most men into closed military garrisons and have taken on themselves every other function of government, industry, agriculture, science and learning. The resulting manifold responsibilities are seen through the life of Stavia, from a dreaming 10-year-old to maturity as doctor, mother and member of the Marthatown Women's Council. As in Tepper's Awakeners series books, the rigid social systems are tempered by the voices of individual experience and, here, by an imaginative reworking of The Trojan Woman that runs through the text. A rewarding and challenging novel that is to be valued for its provoc ative ideas. 50,000 first printing; $50,000 ad/promo. (September)

    a read for ALL women

    A great self empowering book. I read it from cover to cover in one night. Every year I buy it for girlfriends that don't have their own copy yet!

    devoted Tepper fan

    This was the first Sheri tepper book i ever read, i was a freshman in high school and fell in love with it and her. I have read almost every book she has written, only because I have not been able to find all of them. This book got me hooked on SF books. The relationships she builds amoung men and woman are what defines her books for me. She makes woman strong, the most powerful asset. I recomend this book to every woman, because it shows the power we hold.

    Wonderful book!

    I first read this book back in the early '90's. Since then I have actually gone through 3 paperback copies (some lent/given away) and finally have a copy on my Nook. It is THAT great a story. A wonderful social commentary and well thought out plot and solution to rid the world of the violence of war. I can't recommend this book highly enough!

    A refreshing feminist find...

    Outstanding imagination and intrigue. Don't miss out on this unique and captivating story of men and women co-existing seperately. This book ranks #2 in overall feminist fiction in my opinion. Califia's Daughter takes #1. If you liked The Gate to Women's County, you won't want to put down Califia's Daughter.

    The best women's book out there!

    This is my all time favorite book. It's for women that know men are born differently than women, and for the women that know there has to be a better way.
