Califia's Daughters by "Leigh Richards" aka Laurie R. King"A near-future California where women outnumber men by a dozen or more to one and technology levels are sliding backward is the setting for Califia's Daughters. A post-apocalyptic novel by Leigh Richards, it is the story of one remarkable woman, Dian, and a journey she undertakes to discover information that may be vital to the well-being of her home, a 300-soul community known simply as the Valley.... Califia's Daughters is pure sociological SF. Technology is a vital consideration in the book, certainly—each little group of humans is somewhat defined by how much knowledge it has preserved. But Richards is more interested in how societies form and people get along. In Dian she creates a perfect guide to tour readers through her fragmented world, a heroine who is perfectly adapted to her uncertain times and circumstances."
--This was the best book I have read this year!
