I picked this book up at a supermarket bookshelf, mostly to piss off my mom who thought the amount of books I bought was scandalous. It was also one of the very first books I read that I would classify as Adult - I then read it, and read it again, and again. I think I read this book at least two or three times a year for a period of about 4 years. The story of the little girl on the outside trying to get accepted really spoke to me in my teens. As a result, my copy is much battered, has pages falling out, and is very sad state. I haven't read it since I grew out of the teenage phase so I don't know if its as well written as I remember it. I'm a bit afraid to try - what if its not up to how I remember it? I enjoyed this book so much that it is worn out, which is why I have copies of 2 versions of it. It is one of the books that I have used as a subject for my never ending thesis, an M.Ed.in Education with a concentration in English. My topic is feminism and utopia in science fiction written by women - Vonarburg is one of the three authors upon whom my work focuses - the others are Sheri S. Tepper and Suzy McKee Charnas. More later.... La stupidité des hommes a jadis ruiné la planète Terre. La sensibilité des femmes permettra-t-elle de la réparer, ou plutôt de la laisser se réparer ? C'est la question que se pose Lisbeï au cours d'une longue vie aventureuse qui va la mener du Pays des Mères, où les sexes vivent séparés, vers un avenir encore incertain où ils parviendront peut-être à se retrouver. Ce beau roman, qui a reçu plusieurs prix (dont, pour sa traduction américaine, le prix spécial Philip K. Dick), réconciliera avec la science-fiction les femmes qui l'ignorent encore. Quant aux hommes, il leur donnera à réfléchir. Passionnément. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

But Lisbei, a young thinker whose gift is exploring the past, confronts the new establishment in order to force changes of her own.

Encore ce que l’on appelle un classique à côté duquel je suis complètement passée. Je l’ai lu jusqu’au bout, espérant y trouver quelque chose, mais décidément, ça ne valait pas la peine d’y passer autant de temps.
