Anno Domini 2000; Or, Woman's Destiny (1889) is a novel by Sir
Julius Vogel. Written by the former prime minister of New Zealand,
the novel sold poorly upon publication. In recent years, however,
the novel has been recognized as a groundbreaking work of science
fiction that uncannily predicted many of the social developments
that would define New Zealand's contribution to human civilization
in the twentieth century, notably its status as the first nation to
grant women the right to vote. "The barriers which man in his own
interest set to the occupation of woman having once been broken
down, the progress of woman in all pursuits requiring judgment and
intellect has been continuous; and the sum of that progress is
enormous." In the year 2000, the British Empire is an Imperial
Federation apart from an independent Ireland. Having granted women
the right to vote, British society has enjoyed a revolution in
gender roles from the top down. Hilda Fitzherbert, the young and
charismatic Prime Minister of New Zealand, is a shining example of
the new woman of the twenty-first century. When her burgeoning
romance with Emperor Albert threatens diplomatic relations with the
United States, the peaceful world order faces the threat of war.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Frank Aubrey's Anno Domini 2000; Or,
Woman's Destiny is a classic of science fiction reimagined for
modern readers.
