Glory Season is a novel by David Brin. Features clonal reproduction and sexual reproduction; a matriarchy; gender separatism; and a feisty young female protagonist out to make her fortune in the world.
It also features a number of references to feminist SF foremothers (town names, mostly), and apparently, possibly, was an attempt to pitch a book to win the Tiptree Award. A serious attempt, or not? Hard to tell, but the book does raise some interesting issues, and the author did get upset when he didn't win, and suggested there was or might be a feminist conspiracy relating to this or other awards.
