Native tongue

by Suzette Haden Elgin

Paper Book, 1984

Notes

The year is 2179, and in the battle of the sexes there is a hidden resistance of women who have developed a secret language of their own

Description

It is the year 2205 and the women of Earth are once again property. Two women, Nazareth and Michaela - one a brilliant linguist, the other a rebel servant - are destined to challenge the power of men. What neither woman realises is that a revolution is already underway: women, hidden away in Barren houses, are slowly creating a language of their own to free them from men's control and make resistance possible for all women. As Michaela and Nazareth's worlds collide, each of their secrets threatens to reveal the presence of a women's native tongue.
