I decided to read this book because io9.com, the SF blog, hailed it as possibly the first lesbian SF novel, being published in 1906. It's been reprinted by a company called Forgotten Books. It's about two women in their senior year at a seminary college in 1960 who are devoted to each other. The plot sets a scenario for the author to espouse his predictions for the future in the form of a lecture highlighting the major events of the period from 1906 to 1960. It's an interesting book with lots of progressive ideas, but unfortunately has several scenes that from today's point of view are offensive.

Come visit my blog for the full review...
