Just a note to those interested:  this exists in an English
translation as _The Daughters of Egalia_.  I recommend it too.  It's
a lot of fun.


_The daughters of Egalia_, by Gerd Brantenberg; translated from
Norwegian by Louis Mackay in co-operation with Gerd Brantenberg.
Published: London; West Nyack, NY: Journeyman, 1985.


If you read it, you'll quickly see why it was useful to have the
author's input on the translation.
