I first read this book 20 years ago, and it has stayed with me. All fantasy/sci-fi is, at its best, a parable that shows us a way out of a social/cultural problem. If we can read the women here as figures of "everyman" (since, after all, we are frequently called upon to view male characters as representative of humanity) we get an interesting and provocative alternative to our current problems with the escalation of violence, the growth of poverty, and the disaster that is our planet.
