annauq 's review for:
The Female Man
by Joanna Russ
This was a wild ride I’m not sure I completely understood, but there are parts here that resonated deeply (as well as parts that are no longer relevant). To modern eyes a bit of it comes across as gender-essentialist, which is definitely a valid talking point.
However, the passages detailing the experience of (young) lesbians growing up in a straight world: 10/10 incredible. Will haunt me for a while. As will the various descriptions of the male/female double standard, because a lot of it is still so very, very apt.
This book angry, queer, and still mostly worth a read.
