An anthropological study of the planet of Seggri, consisting of a number of accounts of both Ekumen and natives, as well as a piece of Seggrian literature. Traditionally, Seggri has had extreme gender segregation. Women heavily outnumber men, who until recently had little access to education, but were not expected to work. Recent developments have won new freedoms for men, but it's unclear how useful or desirable these freedoms are.
First published in Crank! magazine, then later in "The Birthday of the World" and "The Unreal and the Real" (Volume 2).
