Photo of the cover of the novel Nomansland by Lesley Hauge, which features a woman in worn clothes on a black horse shooting an arrow. A small blurb reads: "On an island of women alone, who.is the real enemy?"
Just finished /Nomansland/ (2010) by #LesleyHauge, which offers a take on the kind of #SingleSexNarrative I am interested in that is reminiscent of #feminist #criticalutopias from the 1980s, such as #PamelaSargent 's /The Shore of Women/ (1986) & #SheriTepper 's /The Gate to Women's Country/ (1988)

Day 15: This is an interesting anti-thesis to The Handmaid's Tale. What if women did, basically, rule the world? Men & older boys play war games, women & children run civilization.

Day 2: Sleeping Beauty retellings were one of my mom's favorites, and thus mine. Was a little traumatized by reading this too young, but loved the mix of fairy tales & a dystopian future.

Yesterday, I finished this #FeministSF classic. /The Gate to Women's Country/ (1988) by #SheriTepper is a surprisingly (frustratingly) unqueer battle-of-the-sexes narrative that combines critical utopia with references to Greek myth to explores the ethics of radical feminist and anti-war politics.
