Set in a dystopian future, the narrative critiques the rise of feminism in the postwar era, portraying it as a dehumanizing force that threatens societal norms and sexual identity.

The book serves as a cautionary tale about the radical changes that could arise from a rebellion against the natural order, making it a notable entry among 1950s literature.
