<b>From the back cover of the Women's Press first edition:</b> "<i>Queen of the States</i> is about Magdalen, a woman who is on her own planet, out to lunch and on her own trip. She moves through time and space, from a private mental hospital to an alien spaceship where she is interrogated about human behavior and the function of sex. Is Magdalen mad or have the alien's really landed? She weaves her way through the fantasies of those around her - husband Clive, psychiatrist Dr Murgatroyd, lovers, friends and friends' lovers - until finally, she can reclaim her own existence."
