It’s 2040 and it’s a woman’s world. Following the overturn of Roe vs Wade in 2022, women the world over rose up in anger at the lack of progress – and indeed, the regression – of women’s rights. Women fought back through non-violent means and coordinated voting processes that meant that within a few short years the Cooperative Feminist World Order was born. The world changed for the better: wars ended, wealth was redistributed, and the environment was treated with greater respect.
But the world is not such a great place for men and boys anymore.
Within this world, both women and men fight in secret for male equality. Emmy is a high-level politician within the Cooperative Feminist World Order, but her secret life involves working for the Mascgettes, the organisation dedicated to bringing an end to male oppression. As she recruits her lodger, Marcus, into the fight, she discovers secrets of her past, and learns about what the future will bring.
