Summary

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

The interstellar Consortium of Planets forsakes the irredeemably violent Earth, condemning the planet to economic and ecological chaos. Given one last chance to halt Earth's annihilation, women freedom fighters discover a way to rid Earth of men's brutality - but it may have come too late. In the stunning conclusion to the Native Trilogy, female linguists must once again come forward and fight for the future of humanity.

Native Tongue - a must read trilogy for all women

I read the first of the novels in this trilogy when it was first published in the 80s. It made a huge impression on my and when my daughters were the right age to read it I was sad to find it out of print.
Now to have all three on Audible is a wonderful gift.
I’m not well read when it comes feminist literature- but I know these books are important.
