In Return to Isis the women of Freeland remembered their ancient history, but the battle for their independence had only begun. In this second book of the series, Whit and her beloved Kali, along with a burgeoning group of women committed to fight for their dreams, must rebuild Isis from the ashes. But politics have emerged as a force that Whit in particular finds hard to conquer, and a deadly saboteur is undermining their every effort. Isis Rising is a rousing futuristic adventure and an enduring romantic love story rolled into one. Jean Stewart’s award-winning series continues to capture our imaginations and hearts! Originally published by Rising Tide Press in 1993.

The essence of lesbian themed science fiction of the early 1990's. Can't beat it. You will laugh out loud (and also be moved by the obvious sincerity of the author). My copy is currently being passed around the small community of lesbians.
