Discover William Tenn's brilliantly satirical science fiction classic 'Venus Is a Man's World,' where gender roles are hilariously reversed. In this thought-provoking tale, Earth's male population has been decimated by war, creating a society where men are rare, pampered commodities and women hold all positions of power. When young Elspeth Marriner travels to Venus—a planet colonized exclusively by men fleeing female domination—she experiences culture shock of cosmic proportions. Tenn's biting wit and social commentary shine in this prescient exploration of gender politics that remains surprisingly relevant decades after its 1951 publication. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction that challenges societal norms while delivering sharp humor and unforgettable characters.Ver libro
