Inhalt
In her novel, Corbett envisions a successful suffragette movement eventually giving rise to a breed of highly evolved »Amazonians« who turn Ireland into a utopian society. The book's female narrator wakes up in the year 2472 and is given an account of intervening history by one of the Amazonians. In the early 20th century, war between Britain and Ireland decimated the Irish population. The British repopulated the island with their own surplus women who came to dominate all aspects of society on the island. The history lesson is followed by a tour of the new society, which embodies a version of state socialism. Men are allowed to live on the island, but cannot hold political office. The Amazonians are vegetarians. They employ euthanasia, eliminating malformed children and bastards. They maintain their superiority by practicing »nerve-rejuvenation,« in which the life energy of dogs is transferred to humans. The narrator reacts very positively to what she sees and learns but is accidentally transported back to the grimmer realities of Victorian England.
