Joanna Russ's On Strike Against God is remarkable for its deft intertwining of many themes: not only the overt one of coming out, but many intricately (and inevitably) interlaced stories of alienation, a search for community and rebellion against how our society defines women.
Joanna Russ: On Strike Against God (Kept in print by the Crossing Press but generally ignored even by those who pay attention to Russ's work in general, this excellent autobiographical novel is sometimes listed as Russ's only 'non-SF' fiction but actually provides a most useful test for any definition of SF.) ~ Carl Freedman, Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 20, No. 3 (Nov., 1993)
