Summary: "Woman's World" by Robert Silverberg is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in a future where traditional gender roles are starkly reversed, and men are now the minority, often subservient to women in a matriarchal society. The novella explores themes of power dynamics, identity, and social roles, prompting readers to reflect on the implications of gender equality and societal structure. The narrative follows a man who awakens from a five-century sleep in a bewildering world dominated by women. Initially captivated by the physicality and strength of the female characters, he soon realizes he is at the center of a struggle for power between the sexes. As he navigates this new reality, he encounters both rebellious masculinity and oppressive femininity, culminating in his reluctant involvement in a rebellion against the matriarchal rulers. Ultimately, the protagonist discovers that his fears about the future were largely based on misunderstanding; instead of seeking a utopia among the Amazons, he learns a valuable lesson about the importance of collaboration and understanding in relationships, choosing to embrace his life in the present rather than fantasizing about a different future.
