In this dystopian science fiction classic set in a world where women have no rights, the patriarchy sends a covert female agent to take down the resistance.


In the second entry of the Native Tongue trilogy, the time has come for L?adan--the secret language created to resist an oppressive patriarchy--to empower womankind worldwide. To expand the language's reach, female linguists translate the Bible into L?adan, and a group of Roman Catholic nuns are tasked to spread the language. But when outraged priests detect their sabotage, they send a double agent to infiltrate and destroy the movement from the inside...


Originally published in the 1980s, the Native Tongue trilogy is a classic dystopian tale: a testament to the power of language and women's collective action.
