    TROUBLE WITH LICHEN.

    Edition: Paperback original - first US printing.

    New York: Ballantine, (1960). First edition - A book which asks the questions "Suppose you could extend your life to 300 healthy, active years with no infirmities of age? What would this secret be worth? What would you do to protect it?" One reviewer commented that "what Wyndham does here is think things through in what was, for the time, a rather surprising way: he looks at it from the feminist angle." (Guardian) One of the scientists behind this discovery was a woman, the granddaughter of a suffragist, and this novel explores how such a discovery will affect women's lives, and their expectations of life - and the reaction against women being empowered.
