Life Av Gwyneth Jones

<P>Anna Senoz is a brilliant young scientist, working towards her PhD and a bright career when she makes a discovery that could change the world of genetics forever.<br><br>The ''Transferred Y'' chromosome, however, isn''t as welcomed by her peers, or the wider society. Anna is forced to choose between her dedication to her discovery, the progress of her career, and her responsibilities to her family. Does scientific integrity mean speaking out against the naysayers? Are the potential ramifications of her discovery too wide-reaching for her to risk pursuing it?<br><br>Winner of the 2004 Philip K. Dick award, <I>Life </I>examines society''s fixation on biological sex, the struggles of women in STEM, and the pressures placed upon them by families, colleagues and friends alike. Perfect for fans of alternate histories and near-future feminist SFF, like <I>The Handmaid''s Tale</I> and <I>Vox</I>.</P>
