In addition to the recommendations provided by others, check out
the bibliographies on the Feminist Sci Fi web site.
Re: what a woman's place in a society with bottled babies would
be, two traditional feminist answers are--Women would be better off! No,
we'd be worse off! First answer comes from Shulamith Firestone and others;
second from Adrienne Rich, and others. You should check out Piercy's Woman
on the Edge of Time for contrast to Huxley. It presents a utopian vision
of woman's place in a society with bottled babies.
