Angel Island by Inez Haynes Gillmore

"Angel Island" by Inez Haynes Gillmore is a science fiction/fantasy novel published in 1914. Five men are shipwrecked on a remote Pacific island, where they discover beautiful winged-women flying overhead. What begins as fascination turns to capture as the men clip the women's wings to domesticate them. But as the women bear children and rediscover their strength, a confrontation looms over the fate of a winged daughter. This feminist tale explores power, freedom, and transformation.
