A perhaps little-known feminist dystopia--does anyone else know it--Margaret
O'Donnell's 'The Beehive'. The society from which the future one has evolved
is never named but is pretty clearly Ireland, I think. Women are either
selected out at an early age to become celibate 'Grey Ones': the women who,
although subordinate to men, an advanced society needs as teachers,
health-care workers, personal assistants, or else must be married and have
children.
