Joan Slonczewski's A Door into Ocean is the novel upon which the author's reputation as an important SF writer principally rests.

A ground-breaking work both of feminist SF and of world-building hard SF, it concerns the Sharers of Shora, a nation of women on a distant moon in the far future who are pacifists, highly advanced in biological sciences, and who reproduce by parthenogenesis--there are no males--and tells of the conflicts that erupt when a neighboring civilization decides to develop their ocean world, and send in an army.

Review of 'A Door Into Ocean' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Este es un libro que me exasperó, la incapacidad de reacción de las protagonistas fue más de lo que pude soportar. Es por supuesto parte de la trama, una raza incapaz de violencia alguna o de reacción ante esta. Supongo que es una lución a lo femenino en general y la falta de agencia que involucra en nuestra sociedad, pero fue verdaderamente exasperante.
