The Wanderground

First published in 1978, The Wanderground stayed in print until 1999. The women who are its protagonists live in the near future, developing their relationships and their psychic gifts in rural ensconcements deliberately separate from men and patriarchal culture. They reproduce by ovular merging, learn to fly at an early age, enjoy magical relationships with plants and animals, and struggle to live by the non-competitive values and sensibilities that they understand to be unique to their sex. They communicate individually through mindstretch (telepathy), and in groups by far-reaching gatherstretches.
The Revolt Of The Mother has insured that men's sexual erections, like the operation of all mechanical and electronic devices, are confined to densely populated metropolitan areas. Except for members of their communities who rotate into cities disguised as men, the Hill Women concentrate their efforts on healing the Earth and on gathering the global mass of female energy that they hope will someday overcome the violent and destructive male energies still inhabiting the world's cities. The Gentles, separatist men who have also eschewed the values and practices of male domination, challenge the Hill Women's essentialist assumption that violence is natural exclusively to the male sex.
