So. Rissa. That series is an interesting time-capsule of a relatively? enlightened? 1970s male writing a woman. It's got some interesting things going on, but also some of those odd sexual ideas endemic in 1970s/80s sci-fi, though and rape appears more than once. I can tell you that the series has made it through roughly 20 years of book clean-outs and still sits on my book shelves and I read almost exclusively women authors and tend to pitch books that are rapey, if that says anything.
