The Shore of Women by Pamela Sargent5/9/2023 This female warrior from a world torn by constant war between the sexes forces Mathilde and a number of her alter egos to become time travellers to help her decide the war in her favour. In the dystopia The Female Man by Joanna Russ (1970) Mathilde meets her alter ego called Jael. For the purposes of artificial insemination, sperm is harvested in the course of fertility rituals from men who are put into a kind of trance for the purpose. In the religion practised in The Shore of Women, which was devised by women, the female principle is equated with the divine. Men are not admitted and are left to their own devices, leading stone-age lives in the wilderness. For a start, she drops in on the post-nuclear world of The Shore of Women by Pamela Sargent (1986), where women live in fenced-in hi-tec enclaves. Mathilde assumes the role of the time traveller, paying visits to the worlds described in different novels. It has been shown together with The Reconstruction of the House of the Qiao Zi Family (2007).
