Native Tongue by Suzette Haden Elgin

Native Tongue by Suzette Haden Elgin

A feminist classic of science fiction comes to the Masterwork list - praised by Ursulua Le Guin, this is a cult novel due to be rediscovered.

Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue trilogy, a classic text of angry feminism, is also an exemplary experiment in speculative fiction, deftly and implacably pursuing both a scientific hypothesis and an ideological hypothesis through all their social, moral, and emotional implications - Ursula KLe Guin

Less well known than the The Handmaid's Tale but just as apocalyptic in [its] vision . . . Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue . . . records female tribulation in a world where . . . women have no public rights at all. Elgin's heroines do, however, have one set of weapons - words of their own - New York Times Book Review
