    About Man’s World

    In a eugenics-driven future society, will one young woman’s defiance make a difference?

    In the not-too-distant future, England’s population quality and quantity are under scientific control: Only those deemed the fittest are permitted to procreate. Women are groomed to be “vocational mothers”—or else sterilized and put to other uses. Written by an author married to one of the world’s most prominent eugenics advocates, this ambivalent adventure anticipates both Brave New World and The Handmaid’s Tale. When a young woman rebels against her conditioning, can she break free?

    Praise

    “Haunting, complex, profound, and relevant, Man’s World is a compelling novel that forwards intriguing commentary on questions of gender, race, and social order.”
    —Foreword Reviews

    “Remains deeply relevant nearly a century after it was first published.”
    —Reactor Magazine

    “A dystopian conundrum and an alarming read. . . . A book over which Marjorie Taylor Greene and Judith Butler could break bread, and then invite the ghosts of Michel Foucault, Margaret Sanger, and Hugh Hefner for an after-dinner digestif. It’s that weird.”
    —The New York Sun
