Woman's World

"Woman's World" by Robert Silverberg is a science fiction story set in a far-off future where women hold all the power and men are secondary. The story examines what happens when traditional roles are flipped, touching on how power, identity, and social norms can change. Imagine a man waking up after 500 years to find a world run by strong women, a big change from what he knew. At first, he is taken by the women's strength, but soon he gets caught in a battle between the sexes. The man faces examples of both rebellious men and controlling women. He ends up helping with a revolt against the women in charge, only to realize his initial fears were wrong. Instead of finding an ideal life with these powerful women, he learns that working together and understanding each other is what really matters, and he chooses to live in the present instead of dreaming of another life.
