Native Tongue

-The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
-The Judas Rose by Suzette Haden Elgin
-Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Comment: I enjoyed that nonverbals were paid as much attention to as verbals as a form of understood language.

Question: What was the purpose of having the leading women (Nazareth and Michaela) have such opposite physical appearances? It kind of reminded me of a Betty and Veronica type of stereotype.
