"Mother" refers in to a character in this book of non-human origin. These 'aliens' in female form are more beautiful, intelligent and apparently more erotic than humans. They are from a planet called VernaIII.This is the tale of Mother and her descendants' struggle, to find a new home away from the men on Earth. Aside from the is a time-old tale of feminist suppression, racial oppression, and breaking free of those chains; there is a bit of lesbian fantasy, sci-fi and altruism. I enjoyed theI found this to be a very unusual book. You followed the story through excerpts from various diaries and journals. It is about a future where 4ooo women, a large portion of the brightest minds on Earth, leave the planet becuase the they are regarded as third class citizens by the repressive male population. They find a new planet to inhabit and that is where the true beauty of the book comes through.The vivid descriptions of the new world are wonderful. The author makes an alien landscape come
EDIT: If you are a fucking terf, fuck off and don't bother with my review. Thank you.Wow. I was urged by a male friend to read this because (paraphrasing, here) "it sucks so bad.

Oversimplifies men and gender, but hey, every time the U.S. starts a new he-man war, it makes me sort of guiltily fantasize about a planet of lesbians who don't have to wear clothes because there's no threat of rape and who value art and education. Fairly well-written compared to most lesbian fiction, and a bit tongue-in-cheek.
As a huge fan of lesbian fantasy and sci-fi, I've been wanting to read this book for a while. I consider this book to be of importance, to the lesbian sci-fi genre, especially when you consider this book was published in 1984. Call this a classic, call it revolutionary, Forrest was one of the first sci-fi authors, to give us erotic romantic relationships between women in an all woman society. I don't mean to over puff this book, but I had an excitement while reading this. Was it as fantastic as
