Marge Piercy recommends
Motherlines (1978)
(Holdfast, book 2)
Suzy McKee Charnas
"[Motherlines is] a pioneer exercise in women's fantasies of independence, skill, freedom. It has a robust, earthy beauty. She has a genius for grasping ideas and dreams that are in the air and making them concrete and dramatic in her fiction."
