The Misconceiver

More about the book

Set in a dystopian United States of 2026, the narrative follows Phoebe Masters, who navigates a society where abortion is outlawed and women's rights have regressed. By day, she works in the tech industry, but by night, she performs illegal procedures to help women reclaim autonomy over their bodies. The story highlights a chilling reversal of social progress, with married women confined to domestic roles, amniocentesis banned, and punitive measures for rape reduced to paternity suits, while homosexuality is repressed.
