GILLMORE, Inez Haynes

GILLMORE, Inez Haynes
   Pseudonym of US writer Inez Haynes Irwin (1873-1970), whose sf novel, Angel Island (1914), conveys an almost surreal FEMINIST message with considerable competence. After five men are shipwrecked on the eponymous island (in the ROBINSONADE tradition) and tame the beautiful winged women who inhabit it by clipping their wings and breeding with them, the tale gradually makes explicit a kind of consciousness of outrage on the part of the caged beings.
