(1979), and Judy Grahn’s Mundane’s World (1988). Gearhart is not alone in this rejection of science, and I consider other feminist utopias for historical context as well, including Dorothy Bryant’s The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You (1976 first published in 1971 as The Comforter), Donna J.

This relationship was not a partnership but more often a mere coincidence of commerce. In the early 19th century, when slavery was the tortured breath that moved the country forward, proximity and politics often found slavers and enslaved forced into uneasy consort. ![]() ![]() ![]() Is Dean Koontz the same as Dean R Koontz?
