| Summary | "Thy Name Is Woman" by Bryce Walton is a science fiction story published in the early 1950s. The narrative explores a futuristic world where women have established their own civilization on Mars, free from men, leading to a significant shift in gender dynamics. The story revolves around Eddie Bowren, the first man to journey to Mars, where he discovers the consequences of a drastic societal change and the presumed superiority of women in this new environment. The plot follows Bowren's harrowing transformation as he undergoes a painful procedure that alters his body to withstand space travel. Upon arriving on Mars, he is initially filled with curiosity but soon faces the shocking revelation that women from Earth have transformed a portion of themselves into men in order to create a new society, completely abandoning their previous lives. As Bowren navigates this new world, he confronts emotional turmoil, jealousy, and an identity crisis. His experience exposes the complexities of traditional gender roles and the ultimate fallout of a male-dominated society, leading to a profound commentary on masculinity, femininity, and the essence of human connection.
