Vicente Blasco Ibáñez ~6 hr read

A shipwrecked traveller washes up in a hidden land ruled entirely by women, where men are a diminished and subordinate sex, a Gulliverian satire of the sexes.

Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's 1922 novel ('The Paradise of Women'), by the celebrated Spanish author, is a witty utopian-satirical fantasy in the tradition of Swift, written for the screen. Sharp, entertaining, provocative. Read it for a lively battle-of-the-sexes fable from a major novelist, imagining the world turned upside down.
