Venus of Dreams
1986 novel by Pamela Sargent
Iris Angharads, a determined, independent woman, sets herself one massive goal: to make the poison-filled atmosphere of Venus hospitable to humans. Iris works day and night to realize her dream, with only one person sharing her passion, Liang Chen. It seems impossible to make Venus, with her intolerable air and waterless earth, into a beautiful paradise, but Iris succeeds. She also creates one of the most powerful dynasties in the world, beginning with her first born, Benzi Liangharad.
