E niente è più diverso della "female man", un essere che incorpora le caratteristiche di entrambi i sessi, protagonista di questa storia che fin dal titolo appare come un monstrum linguistico.

When the first settlers braved an impenetrable wilderness frontier? When those that followed picked up tattered threads of civilization? When the very land itself was divided for gain?
