The Female Man is told from the points of view of four different women, each from a different parallel Earth. The first woman, Joanna, comes from our own world. Jeannine is a mousy librarian in a repressive, male-dominated society. Janet lives in a world where all men have died off, and Jael is an assassin with a male sex slave where living space is segregated by gender.
