<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Cridge ridicules the cult of domesticity by exposing its contradictions, made especially glaring when enacted by men." -Carol Farley Kessler</p><p><em>Man's Rights; or, How Would You Like It?</em> (1870) is a feminist utopian novel by Annie Denton Cridge. Written during the early stages of the American suffragist movement, Cridge's novel is a work of political satire that uses utopianism and science fiction to explore the progressive political activism of women of the United States and around the world. Highlighting the absurdity of gender-based oppression, Cridge produced the first feminist utopian novel in history, predating Charlotte Perkins Gilman's <em>Herland</em> (1915) by nearly half a century.</p><p><br></p><p>In a series of strange, prophetic dreams, a woman envisions a society on Mars in which women wield absolute power over men. Unable to leave their homes, made to perform domestic labor each and every day, the Martian men have grown tired of oppression. When technological advancements grant them more free time, they begin staging an uprising against the women of Mars in order to demand total equality. Struck by these visions, the narrator has several more dreams in which she sees a future United States ruled justly and effectively by a woman president. Detailing the reforms and advances of this utopian world, she begins to imagine if one day such a future will finally be possible. Ahead of its time and largely unrecognized upon publication, Annie Denton Cridge's <em>Man's Rights; or, How Would You Like It?</em> is an important work of science fiction and political imagination that not only sheds light on the nineteenth century women's suffrage movement, but remains relevant for our own, divided time.</p><p><br></p><p>With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Annie Denton Cridge's <em>Man's Rights; or, How Would You Like It?</em> is a classic of American science fiction reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>In a series of dreams, a woman visits Mars, where a society run by women faces an uprising of oppressed men. Unable to leave their homes, the Martian men, enabled by recent technological advances, use their freedom to organize against the women in power. <i>Man's Rights; or, How Would You Like It?</i> is a feminist utopian novel by Annie Denton Cridge.</p>
