Really interesting look at a sort of proto-second wave feminism asking what would happen if (primarily) women were given a chance to live their lives for themselves while they were still young (for however long) instead of for others as daughters, wives, mothers, and caretakers. 

Was a little disappointed bc I thought for sure that an early mention of one of Darr's innovations (

regarding the virus that induced sterility in male locusts, but left the females able to reproduce on their own for several generations

) was going to come back around at the end. Alas.
