Being lazy, I clipped the TOC from ISFBD. It's interesting how their version gets the order wrong. I am sure there's a perfectly obvious answer as to why that is. I've put things in the order they are in the book.

In the Eyes of Amber review, I said (of a setting where only women could be starship crew) Given past history I wouldn't expect men to be affronted by an inability to be a spacer. I'd expect them to dismiss the entire profession as beneath them, in as much as it's dominated by women.

I'm thinking here of professions whose status and I believe pay declined as they were increasingly dominated by women.
