Post-Liberation, a family is thrown into a tizzy when Perdita—she of the eyebrow implants and laser tattoo—vows to join the Cyclists. Perdita will not submit to the brainwashing and subjugation of the male patriarchy. But then rare agreement between mother and mother-in-law makes Perdita question the wisdom of her decision. Recording originally issued as part of the short story collection: The best of Connie Willis.
