An explosive novel of women struggling to make their place in a man's world. We follow the crisscrossing lives of two women: Beth, a "good little girl" from Syracuse who jumps off the Middle America marriage-go-round into a succession of women's communes, and Miriam, a mathematician and refugee from Flatbush who moves through a series of fluid relationships with men in search of an elusive sense of security.
