Title: " Sexual Politics, Gender and Class in the Universe of C.J.
Cherryh's Chanur Series "
"In a fiercely political universe populated by the primate mahendosat,
menacing kif, tri-gendered stsho,and two species of methane breathers,
hani captain Pyanfar Chanur and her family haul cargo between systems,
before ending up with a male human passenger. The ensuing politics
threaten even the hani homeworld. Pyanfar's eventual addition of her
husband to her all-female crew sets off a revolution. What do the
characters, species, and genders of the Chanur universe say to us about gender
oppression and the cost, upheaval and liberation on a personal and
cultural level as that oppression is lifted? Cherryh not only cogently
outlines the blow-back and conservative reactions to change, but also the
individual costs."
