Friday is a 1982 novel by Robert A. Heinlein, featuring a strong female protagonist (the eponymous Friday).

While lauded by some as feminist, the novel has been critiqued by others for its sexual fantasy treatment of a female protagonist; its male gaze treatment of same-sex sexuality (lesbian sexuality on view, male homosexuality invisible); and its depiction of the female character as ultimately controlled by her biological capacity to bear children.
