Good fiction, for its era

This book is a product of the time in which it was written, during which women were thought of as dependent and in need of direction from males. This comes out very strongly when Iroedh begins to develop into a fertile, mature female and has to learn to play the psychological, war of the sexes-type of "game" with her chosen mate, whose chauvinist views are straight out of the '40's and '50's. In spite of its sexism, the book is highly enjoyable as recreational reading and even sheds some light on the Communist panic that swept the nation during the time.
