About The Author
Marge Piercy
Marge Piercy is a beloved American progressive activist, feminist, and writer. Her work includes:
- Woman On The Edge Of Time
- He, She And It, which won the 1993 Arthur C. Clarke Award
- Gone To Soldiers, the New York Times bestseller and sweeping historical novel set during World War II
She has authored fifteen other novels and short story collections, and penned twenty volumes of poetry with poems regularly reprinted in anthologies, on artwork, as song lyrics, and more.
Piercy was a pioneer in the use of gender-neutral pronouns in the 1970s. Her groundbreaking sci-fi novel Woman on the Edge of Time (1976) is frequently taught in feminist and women’s studies programs. In Woman on the Edge of Time, gender pronouns are replaced with “per” as a non-gendered pronoun. The novel depicts a utopian future where gender has become insignificant, and individuals are encouraged to embrace androgyny and social harmony.
