Über diesen Titel

Originally published in 1984, this classic dystopian trilogy is a testament to the power of language and women's collective action.

In 2205, the 19th Amendment has long been repealed and women are only valued for their utility. The Earth's economy depends on an insular group of linguists who "breed" women to be perfect interstellar translators until they are sent to the Barren House to await death. But instead, these women are slowly creating a language of their own to make resistance possible. Ignorant to this brewing revolution, Nazareth, a brilliant linguist, and Michaela, a servant, both seek emancipation in their own ways. But their personal rebellions risk exposing the secret language, and threaten the possibility of freedom for all.

this had been recommended to me in a scifi/fantasy group and so I gave it a go and didn't get dissapointed. I did hold my breath at so many parts and it really did get under my skin. literally but also psychological...this Story Shows us how a language or The development and use of a new language can change society.. it also shows the cruel truth about patriarchism which does exist similar like in the book described still all over the world. a true eye- and Mindopener. looking forwars to listen to the second part of the trilogy now. don't skip the afterword, it really is so informative and analyses also a lot about the book and the authors background and intentions. she did wrote these books as a sociological and linguistical experiment..and used Scifi as a method. love it!!! ❤️

a very exciting mix of Linguistic, Scifi and Feminism. wonderful!
