Woman on the Edge of Time [Paperback] [Jan 01, 1995] Piercy, Marge

Marge Piercey's classic bestseller, reissued in The Women's Press Science Fiction series. Connie Ramos is 37, Mexican-American; a loving mother, now labelled a child abuser; a heroically sane woman, now declared insane. Drugged, a helpless inmate of a mental hospital, she is offered only one way back to 'normality' - participation in a mind-control experiment using electronic implantations in the brain. But Connie's also a 'catcher', a natural telepath with the ability to enter a Utopian future of ecological and social harmony. As the doctor's close in, Connie realises she has a fight on her hands - a fight in which a future world and her own life are at stake.
