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.

thing of the kind. On removing the hands and arms from the water,
the air-bubbles disappeared, but gradually returned on again
immersing those organs. The bubbles were of the size of a pin's
head. On wiping them off, they disappeared, but gradually formed
again." In opposition to the above observations of Magendie and
Girardin, it may be urged that the gas which was developed might
probably have arisen from the decomposition of remnants of food in
the inclosed portion of intestine, or that the portion of gut
becoming distended by peristaltic motion, had imbibed air from the
peritoneal cavity, or from the adjacent portions of the intestinal
canal; and, similarly, the escape of air from the stomach and
urinary bladder, in Smith's case, admits of the same mechanical
explanation as has been given in a previous page. Not so, however,
the escape of air from the skin: the fact that all bodies, when
immersed in water, give off a little entangled air, affords no
explanation of the continuous evolution of gas from the skin:
neither does the accumulation of air occasionally noticed in the
intestinal canal of swine seem to admit either of a mechanical or
chemical solution. If we are asked for the particular causes of
these developments of gas, I confess I can give no satisfactory
reply. No secretion of gases occurs in the human body in a normal
condition; for the development of gas in respiration is a purely
physico-chemical proceeding, and is in exact accordance with the
laws of displacement and diffusion of gases, as has been recently
proved by Valentin and Brunner; and, probably, the same law holds
good for the development of gas through the skin. We can only refer
to the analogical proceeding in fishes, where we find an actual
secretion of gas in the swimming-bladder, and must, for ...
