SUMMARY:WOMAN ON THE EDGE OF TIME - Marge Piercy
DESCRIPTION:Blazing a trail for books like The Handmaid's Tale and publishe
 d nearly 10 years before was Women on the Edge of Time.\n\nConnie Ramos\, 
 a woman in her mid-thirties\, has been declared insane. But Connie is over
 whelmingly sane\, merely tuned to the future\, and able to communicate wit
 h the year 2137. As her doctors persuade her to agree to an operation\, Co
 nnie struggles to force herself to listen to an androgynous young woman na
 med Luciente. She realizes that Luciente is from a future world in which a
  number of goals of the political and social agenda of the late sixties an
 d early seventies radical movements have been fulfilled. Environmental pol
 lution\, homophobia\, racism\, phallogocentrism\, class-subordination\, co
 nsumerism\, imperialism\, and totalitarianism no longer exist in the agrar
 ian\, communal community of Mattapoisett. The death penalty\, however\, co
 ntinues to exist ("We don't think it's right to kill (...). Only convenien
 t.")\, as does war...\n\n\n
