On Strike Against God is a realist novel written by feminist science fiction writer Joanna Russ. Originally drafted in the early 1970s, it was not published until 1980 (by Out & Out Books), the last of Russ's novels to reach print.
The novel follows Esther, a middle-aged English teacher, as she becomes a feminist and enters into a relationship with another woman, Jean, after realizing she is a lesbian. It contains a number of allusions to other texts and academic works, and Esther often speaks directly to the readers.
