What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Trying to remember the name of a novel that is post-apocalyptic. "Nurse" is the main character culminating at the Lincoln center with the "Nurse" overseeing a ballet as violence erupts in the group.

Please tell me title/author

Brevin, around what year did you read this book? This will help us narrow down the search.

Is this novel for older adults or teens?

Is this an anthology of short stories? For example, Dangerous Women edited by George R.R. Martin contains the story:

"Second Arabesque, Very Slowly” by Nancy Kress

One reviewer says: “Second Arabesque, Very Slowly” by Nancy Kress (read by Janis Ian)
After 99% of women became infertile, civilization collapsed, leaving male-dominated packs scavenging ruins like the Lincoln Center, where 64-year-old “Nurse” observes two young pack members discovering ballet: “There are worse ways to die than gazing at beauty.”
