The Shore of Women by Nebula Award-winner Pamela Sargent (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia), her post-apocalyptic reconstruction dystopia feminist science fiction novel with romantic elements, originally out from Crown Publishers in 1986.
This classic work of feminist science fiction finds the world reordered.
Following a nuclear holocaust, women have used advanced technology to expel men from their cities, bringing them back only for purposes of loveless reproduction under the guise of powerful goddesses. When one young woman, Birana, questions her society’s deception, she finds herself exiled amongst the very men she has been taught to scorn. As Birana and her reluctant male protector Arvil grow closer, their feelings for each other just might mend their fractured world—if they somehow manage to survive.
