Feminist Ideals in Woman on the Edge of Time Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time is a dichotomy of two worlds: one utopic and one distopic. Although the world of the future is utopic in many senses, e.g. Marxist, environmentalist, etc., Piercy seems to especially focus on feminist issues.

I've fallen multiple times. As the ground slips beneath me, it takes moments to realize I'm about to hit the ground. I see the carpet, the asphalt, the concrete, the mulch, grow bigger as my whole body descends into an awkward position that's destined to become one with the floor. The one thing that can protect you is instinct. The instinct that draws your arms in front to protect your face and body, the instinct that instructs you to survive by all means, like your own guardian angel planted within

Creeme, the mechanic for the nearest town, Bude, was on lifeguard duty. It was one of those pleasant days where it was warm, but quite windy. It had become slightly windier as the day approached mid afternoon, but it was bearable. I sat at the edge of the beach in my fleece reading a Dorothy Dunnet novel. I probably would have stayed in this position for the rest of the day, if it weren't for a faint shriek I could hear coming from the distance. I looked up from my book and I could see

The cold gleaming edge of the blade, a thin razor. It once was a replacement blade for a shaver, now it is the tool of my own death, a tiny piece of demise. The sharpened edge and cool steel a sharp reminder of what I held. My palm faced upward, a thin morbidly dotted line dashed across my wrist, the blue veins and worn crease lines hidden below the thick permanent black marker. The steel, now warmed from my hesitant and fearful touch pressed a single corner against my flesh, the natural flexibility
