✦ Synopsis

Intro; Praise for the Writing of Joanna Russ; Title; Dedication; Foreword; The Two of Them; About the Author; Copyright.;A time-traveling heroine vows to rescue a subjugated girl from a fundamentalist society by any means necessary in this "extraordinary novel" (Marge Piercy). Rebelling against her repressive 1950s upbringing in a sexist America, Irene Waskiewicz flees in search of liberation and adventure as a time-and-space-traveling agent of the Trans-Temporal Authority. Her partner is Ernst Neumann-a mentor, father figure, friend, and lover. When the two are assigned to a repressive fundamentalist colony, they meet a twelve-year-old poet whose spirit is being crushed by the harsh restrictions of the society in which she lives. But Irene's attempt to rescue Zubeydeh doesn't go as planned-especially when Ernst proves unexpectedly resistant. To follow through on her commitment to the girl, Irene must undertake a drastic course of action-no matter the cost ... In this fierce and moving speculative science fiction novel of female solidarity, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Joanna Russ "digs deep into her anger and comes up with a rich and lively tale" (Ms. Magazine).
