Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Female Man is a 1975 book by American author Joanna Russ, part Speculative Fiction novel (or "antinovel") and part feminist manifesto.The loose story follows four women from separate realities: Jeannine is a librarian from an alternate past where The Great Depression never ended; Joanna is a feminist in the 1970s trying to find her way in a man's world; Janet is a Time Traveler from a utopian future Earth inherited by women; and Jael is a Mysterious Watcher observing the actions of the other three as they are brought together by happenstance and without much explanation.The book is highly experimental in its style, switching freely between perspectives often without clear delineation and bordering on stream-of-consciousness at times. Intercut with the plot are chapters (from varying or uncertain perspectives) that are essentially Russ's personal observations of misogyny, gender relations, and the female condition.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Author Avatar: Since she shares a name and an era with the author, Joanna is the obvious choice (and many of the author tracts seem to be from her perspective), but all four protagonists represent aspects of Russ's personality to some degree. | |

Armoured Closet Gay: Laura is vocally opposed to Janet's unabashed lack of femininity and protests in one of her monologues that she would never sleep with a woman because it would be abnormal. She turns out to be a lesbian. | |
