Annotation

A women-only feminist eutopian community. The novel is told through a “Prologue” (1-7) the stories of sixteen women told at the summer solstice in 1999. After the failure of the U.S. government, local communities gradually became independent. In the pollution-free future, the women tell of their lives before finding the Womonseed community, except for one was born in the community and one who took a journey to the world outside the community, finding both positive experiences with other women and the remains of patriarchy.
