old one but a good one. not to far away future but still some sci-fi tech. great story about a unity of women who grow tired of the oppressive live on earth and set out to form their own world. I have read a few of Forrest's books before and like always the first few pages leave you a little dizzy but you catch on quick and fully enjoy the imaginative and enveloping story as it unfolds.This book was Diane's, and was the first book she ever read aloud to me. I didn't know what to expect...it has a very sci-fi feel to it, but with women empowerment themes running all through it. In the end, it was absolutely entralling. What a novel concept!!
So I decided to read a story about fascist inbred lesbian vulcans playing utopian Barbie in space. You got a problem with that?This books saving grace for a while was its sense of humor, no matter how cheesy. But all the chuckling and rejoinders grated in my nerves by page 20. And the men in the story are such MEN. You know, irrational ogre monkeys, cartoon savage beasts and rapists. And all the women are goddesses and handsome and too clever to be interesting or come off as anything but

I read this book so many years ago, must have been in the 80s. I loved it. It has everything and it had it first. Lesbian space travel, women couples having children (a miracle of their science), establishing an all female colony on a far away planet, sexual tension between women - hey it was a new read to me at the time. I thought I had hit the jackpot. The book is well written, like mainstream books. Everybody should read this book to honor Ms. Forrest, a pioneer in Lesbian Science Fiction,
I have loved this book since I was a young woman. It was one of the first lesbian fiction I read and it was so cool and not just because it was the first time I saw my name used in a book!
