Valerie Benziger —
lesbian feminist activist and Priestess of the
Goddess — was
born too late to be somebody during the glory
days of the “womyn’s community.” So, when she concocts a
ritual that appears to take her San Francisco
women’s circle traveling forward in time,
she’s convinced they’ll return with
a cure for AIDS and she’ll be a heroine
at last. But while the Alta California Republic
of 2064 is a great place for a woman to love
other women, it got that way in spite of her
generation’s politics. And her circle
can’t agree whether this future is a dream
or a nightmare.
Helping
them make their way is small businesswoman Claudia
Marshall, madly in love with her wife, “private defective” Charlotte O’Hara — but also with her charming husband,
Sean. This “sapphic” triad befriends Valerie, the priestess in way over her head;
Connie, the dour revolutionary; M’Chunga,
the Afrocentrist; Marty and Kayla, the young
“queer” butch-femme couple; Luz, the Hispanic Haight-Ashbury veteran;
Leslie, the athlete turned reluctant new member
of the differently-abled community; and Peggy,
the lipstick lesbian who just might be the one
with the magic they’ll need to get through
this adventure.
Sweet
Brigid! (as Sean would say) The future sure
ain’t what it used to be...

Readers’
reviews:
“I was really intrigued when I first read the description
of Elliott’s book, mostly because I consider
myself a feminist and I love stories about groups
of women. This, however, was way more than I bargained
for. . . . It’s a fascinating read and I
definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a
read that will make them laugh an think simultaneously!”
— Brittany, Goodreads
“. . . an interesting mix of radical feminism, radical
lesbianism, goddess-worship, future-building,
and oddly enough, libertarianism into one book.”
— Mawgojzeta, Goodreads
“. . . what literature used to be in the time of
Henry James etc. It was a book that was written
for the purpose of dissecting and commenting on
the current culture and mores of the time and
the society which it was written about.”
— Danie, Goodreads
