Native Tongue II: The Judas Rose

Signed paperback original, 1987

Second novel in the Native Tongue trilogy. The women's secret language Láadan has spread further, and a new threat emerges from within the Catholic Church, which launches a campaign to suppress the women's movement while presenting a false front of sympathy. The novel deepens the trilogy's examination of institutional religion as an instrument of patriarchal control alongside the state. Signed by Elgin on the title page. Scarce, especially signed.
