Quaker Sci-Fi

I just last night finished reading Still Forms on Foxfield which I have out on ILL. Now, I think I have read all of Joan Slonczewski's published novels. I have really enjoyed them, and am sad to think that they were all written some time ago, so maybe she is done writing. I itch for another book in the Elysium cycle that has included some really good feminist sci-fi. This one was all-out Quaker sci-fi, though. The author is Quaker and there are lots of Friends' themes in all of her books but this one was really about Quakers and handled in a fully Quaker way. It was well-written and engaging, too. Neato.
