Recommendation RequestBooks Set in a Newly Established Matriarchal World?
Posted January 19, 2024 by anannoyedwoman in Books

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!

Oh, damn. I'd. better not read that. Keep me as far away from transphobia as possible. Please tell me where the novel is sold so I can be sure to avoid those places.

I saw it on Kobo but I'm afraid all the major booksellers will have it! Beware! Be vigilant!

Oh no, it could be anywhere! I'll make sure to keep my eyes peeled so I can walk away from it when I find it.
