The Revolt of Man edition by Walter Besant Literature Fiction eBooks
"It is because the natural order has been reversed; the sex which should command and create is compelled to work in blind obedience."Thus is the story of `men' who live under the yolk of women in the future. This is an interesting book as it shows us a future where women rule, there is a new religion, the monarchy is abolished, and there are many good things. However, men, those pesky people want to rule. They want the old monarchy back (good god why?), and revolt against the ruling women.
That's the story, and while I've told you the plot, it's the descriptions of life in this utopian or dystopian future world that make this book twice as good as the interesting plot. Written over 100 years ago, it's hard to believe, as its very much something that we could read today or see as a film and find much to discuss and think about. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes `thinking' fiction.

The Revolt of Man edition by Walter Besant Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The men revolt from under the yoke of women! No, this is not about your parents marriage, or your own. Its about the UK (after women take over and are running things) and the men are frustrated. )
They decide to recruit the former King (now just a man) to lead them to revolt againt the women.
Sound sort of silly, but totally cool, and very good.
Very good dystopian feminist novel.
The Revolt of Man by Walter Besant - Written in 1882, The Revolt of Man takes place in a future England (much like and advanced Victorian England with some very strange yet fascinating inventions) after the `Great Transition'; a new religion has been founded, the monarchy abolished, and women rule over men. However this unnatural order cannot last and finally the men, led by the rightful heir to the throne, revolt! Of course, men are the rightful rules of `mankind'.
It reminded me of the old joke You know what's good about the meek inheriting the world? Answer `after they get it, it won't be hard to take it back.'
This book is very serious; I don't want you to think it's not.
