Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. World Without Women is a mid-century pulp-speculative novel set in a future where a global plague has killed nearly all women, leaving the remaining few as the most valuable - and most contested - beings on Earth. Different nations impose extreme, often brutal policies to control access to female survivors, creating a fractured world defined by desperation, authoritarianism, and moral collapse. The story follows characters navigating this harsh landscape, blending survival drama, social commentary, and noir-style tension. Through storm-tossed voyages, fraught relationships, and power struggles, the novel explores how societies and individuals behave when gender imbalance becomes catastrophic, revealing both the cruelty and vulnerability of humanity under pressure.
