A Door Into Ocean

A Door Into Ocean | Joan Slonczewski

4 posts | 4 read | 7 to read

A Door into Ocean is the novel upon which the author's reputation as an important SF writer principally rests. A ground-breaking work both of feminist SF and of world-building hard SF, it concerns the Sharers of Shora, a nation of women on a distant moon in the far future who are pacifists, highly advanced in biological sciences, and who reproduce by parthenogenesis--there are no males--and tells of the conflicts that erupt when a neighboring civilization decides to develop their ocean world, and send in an army. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

My #5fordinner finally! Thanks for the tag @Simona !
I chose some of my favorite feminist science fiction writers. I would probably be too intimidated to talk, but would love to just listen to these brilliant women.
Clockwise, from top left:
▪️Joanna Russ
▪️Joan Slonczewski
▪️Ursula K. LeGuin
▪️James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice B. Sheldon)
▪️N. K. Jemisin

And if anyone hasn't done this yet and wants to, consider yourself tagged! 🙂
