When three American men discover a community of women, living in perfect isolation in the Amazon, they decide there simply must be men somewhere. How could these women survive without man's knowledge, experience and strength, not to mention reproductive power? In fact, what they have found is a civilisation free from disease, poverty and the weight of tradition. All alone, the women have created a society of calm and prosperity, a feminist utopia that dares to threaten the very concept of male superiority.
For 2026, we will read a book written by a female author in each decade from the 1900s to 2010s, in chronological order. For those wishing to get a head start, in March, our book published between 1920-1929 is Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott.
