Swastika Night by Katharine Burdekin
Published in 1937, twelve years before Orwell's 1984, this novel projects a totally male-controlled fascist world that has eliminated women as we know them. They are breeders, kept as cattle, while men in this post-Hitlerian world are embittered automatons, fearful of all feelings, having abolished all history, education, creativity, books, and art. Not even the memory of culture remains. The plot centers on a misfit who asks, as readers must, How could this have happenned? Ann J. Lane calls the novel a brilliant, chilling dystopia. This is a powerful, haunting vision of the inner and outer worlds of male violence.-Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume One, 1884-1933| SKU | Unavailable |
