Here we go reading again!
This is an adult book club with the aim of being open and accessible to everyone, and to read as many sci-fi & fantasy works from diverse authors as we can.
This month, we're diving into A Door into Ocean by Joan Slonczewski.
"A Door into Ocean is the novel upon which the author's reputation as an important SF writer principally rests. A ground-breaking work both of feminist SF and of world-building hard SF, it concerns the Sharers of Shora, a nation of women on a distant moon in the far future who are pacifists, highly advanced in biological sciences, and who reproduce by parthenogenesis--there are no males--and tells of the conflicts that erupt when a neighboring civilization decides to develop their ocean world, and send in an army."
