From the Bookshelf of Apocalypse Whenever…

[close] Set in a dystopic neighborhood in the Pacific Northwest, this story asks the question, "What would change if women ruled the world?"

After a global war that devastates the infrastructure, women have control of society. To survive, they are forced to learn to hunt for, grow and preserve food; they use clever engineering to design simple machines; and they develop a deeply rooted sisterhood to support each other.

The women think they have finally established peace and gender equality, but small groups of men roam the country, viciously indicating that the pendulum may have swung too far. When a man shows up one night, gaunt and filthy, the women must decide if they will risk everything to save him. Does he deserve their help?
