Marge Piercy doesn't do science fiction often. As with many writers who dip into that genre infrequently, it can be a toss up whether or not the next attempt will be good. "He, She, and It" is good. The main character is Shira and we follow her life for a few months as she fights for her child, herself, her family, and her hometown, and her lover. These "fights" are almost universal, they seem as though they could happen at any time but by placing them into the future, Piercy allows us to question the reasons for these fights at all. Are they "natural" or "social" or a mixture? Frankly I found the idea of corporations controlling most of the world except for agriculture and a few "free towns" difficult to grasp but since this isn't really the point of the story, I'm not docking points stars for that...
