Goslings by J.D. Beresford

notbambi's review against another edition

4.0

Gender politics are always a crapshoot in older works, but this book's aged surprisingly well. It's more a series of connected vignettes about how various people, including the Gosling women, deal with the loss of almost every man in the world to a plague. Women get on with it and make what needs to happen happen. Those who don't, die. It's a very optimistic apocalypse that has faith in humanity's capacity to support eachother and adapt.

Interesting, thought provoking, hopeful, and as progressive a set of ideas as I'd expect from 1913. I quite enjoyed it.
