520 $a"Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue trilogy,
Suzy McKee Charna's Holdfast series, and Margaret Atwood's
The Handmaid's tale are analyzed within the context of this
subgenre of "transgressive utopian dystopias." Analysis
focuses particularly on how these works cover the
interrelated categories of gender, race and class, along
with their relationship to classic literary dualism and the
dystopian narrative"--Provided by publisher.
