Walter Besant's novel "The Revolt of Man" presents a dystopian vision of a female-dominated society of the 22nd century, where women keep men in complete subordination after the historic Transfer of Power. Women gradually take over the traditional men's occupations and privileges, having become judges, doctors, lawyers, businesswomen and artists, whereas effeminate men are allowed to live and perform simple work in complete passivity, submission and obedience to the triumphant females.

Thanks to women's power England has freed herself of oppressive male supremacy, aggression, male-dominated religion, polluting industries, and has become a totalitarian feminist paradise.   Less
