Recommendation RequestBooks Set in a Newly Established Matriarchal World?
Hi! Does anyone have any speculative book suggestions set in a world where only women have survived after a catastrophic event wiping out the global male population? Or just something along the lines of the world becoming a matriarchy. It doesn't have to be an apocalyptic event.
I've read Naomi Alderman's The Power, but the author really just wrote the now dominating women as men. What I want is a story that explores how women would navigate, adapt and behave in this new male-absent/male-minority world in a way that's realistic for women.
If you know of any such books, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Daughters of the Coral Dawn by Katherine V. Forest is a classic. She wrote sequels too. I liked it in the 80s, but when I re-read it a few years ago it was disappointing.
But worth reading as wish fulfillment of its time.
