title: The Age of Women
author: Martin, Joyce
description: It is the year 2,300. After the near destruction of the planet by the rule of men, it is the Age of Women who rule over a planet returned to its natural state, a planet free of war, consumerism and pollution. However, in order to maintain their world women have stripped men of all power and keep them only for insemination and physical pleasure. Romantic love is has been banished to the archives of history. Yet, there are women like Tara who yearn for something else only to find themselves torn between the seemingly Utopian world they rule over and a return to a world of the past, a world where the balance of power between men and women is both dangerous and uncertain. This is a story full of mystery, history, sensuality and humor. But, most of all, it is a story that will challenge the reader's beliefs about contemporary issues about relationships and the ultimate question of what we will tell our children about the nature of men and women. Each reader will find themselves hating or loving the characters and their choices but in the end, they will have to ask, "Which world would I choose?"
