Summary "The Raid of Dover: A Romance of the Reign of Woman, A.D. 1940" by Douglas Morey Ford is a speculative fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative presents an alternate historical reality where England is on the verge of collapse due to political turmoil caused by socialism and the women's suffrage movement. The story focuses on key characters such as Wilson Renshaw, a brilliant MP, and Nicholas Jardine, the Labour Prime Minister, as England grapples with its changing societal norms and governmental structure. At the start of the novel, the author introduces Wilson Renshaw, who is facing significant personal and political pressure during a time of heightened nationalism and social upheaval. After a nervous breakdown, Renshaw retreats to Egypt, where he mysteriously disappears, presumed dead. Meanwhile, Nicholas Jardine rises to power amidst the chaos, utilizing his political influence to navigate the growing tensions in society, particularly surrounding women's rights and the potential for revolution. The opening chapters set the stage for a profound exploration of gender dynamics, power struggles, and the fragility of a once-mighty empire, foreshadowing the intense conflict that lies ahead.
