商品描述
A pioneering feminist adventure in an alternate world--before the concept of gender. Introduced by Lucy Sante, author of the acclaimed memoir of transition I Heard Her Call My Name, this pioneering 1909 feminist utopia is productively discombobulating. When Mary Hatherley, an intrepid British explorer, is kicked in the head by the camel she was riding through the Arabian desert, she finds herself transported to what seems to be an alternate version of Earth. Arriving in Armeria, she discovers a society in which the very concept of gender is unknown. Like Mary, the reader will become disoriented, enjoyably so: By avoiding the use of gendered pronouns, the story's author (herself a gender-fluid activist) challenges our assumptions about gendered social paradigms.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一場開創性的女性主義冒險，在一個性別概念尚未出現的平行世界中。
由著名的轉型回憶錄《我聽見她叫我的名字》的作者露西·桑特（Lucy Sante）介紹，這部1909年的女性主義烏托邦作品令人感到困惑卻又富有成效。當英國探險家瑪麗·哈瑟利（Mary Hatherley）在阿拉伯沙漠騎著駱駝時被駱駝踢到頭，她發現自己被傳送到了似乎是地球的另一個版本。抵達阿梅里亞（Armeria）後，她發現了一個性別概念完全未知的社會。就像瑪麗一樣，讀者也會感到迷失，但這種迷失是愉快的：透過避免使用性別代名詞，故事的作者（她自己是一位性別流動的活動家）挑戰了我們對性別社會範式的假設。作者簡介
Irene Clyde (b. Thomas Baty, 1869-1954) was an English lawyer, writer, and activist who spent much of her life in Japan. She co-founded the Aëthnic Union, a society dedicated to challenging binary gender distinctions; and for 25 years she helped edit, write, and publish Urania, a privately circulated journal which covered such topics as same-sex relationships, androgyny, and sex changes, and which sharply criticized heterosexual marriage. Beatrice the Sixteenth (1909) is her only novel. Lucy Sante's books include Low Life, Kill All Your Darlings, The Other Paris, Maybe the People Would Be the Times, and I Heard Her Call My Name. She was recently appointed an officer of the Order of the Crown by the Belgian government.
