| Summary | "New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future" by Mrs. George Corbett is a speculative fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of gender equality and social reform, as it introduces readers to a future society where women have taken over the governance and organization of a newly established nation called New Amazonia. The story begins with a strong critique of the status quo regarding women's rights in the author's contemporary society, setting the stage for a narrative of empowerment and transformation. At the start of the novel, the narrator expresses resentment towards an article in the magazine "Nineteenth Century" that downplays the suffrage movement. This anger leads her to a deep sleep—after which she awakens in a lush, fantastical garden, where she meets a bewildered man named Augustus Fitz-Musicus. They soon encounter a towering woman named Dora, who represents the new society's progressive values. Unlike their past experiences, the characters find themselves among powerful women who challenge societal norms. As they are introduced to this extraordinary world, the narrative explores the drastic changes in societal structure, norms of dress, and the overall philosophy that values women's achievements, setting the tone for a discussion on the evolution of gender roles and expectations.
