Today I noticed two threads referring to the19th Amendment.

Yesterday I was looking for books at some local thrift shops and came across a novel from the 1980's - Native Tongue - about the repeal of the 19th Amendment and the subsequent adoption of another amendment preventing women from holding office. I look around the country and see so many states controlled by Republicans . The book was written as science fiction but I begin to wonder.

One of the reasons I love science friction is because of the troubled, heated, and dangerous predictions the authors make about society, be it misogyny, racism, nationalism, slavery, or sexism. The Fifth Column was great in that way. there was another book, Asimov? that predicted a religious take over of the US and A. Scary, only because I could easily see how our society could fall into that trap.

I have to find Native Tongue. Sounds like a winner. THANKS!
