Gender-role reversal. Women had taken political power, abolished the House of Commons, replaced the House of Lords with the House of Peeresses, abolished the monarchy, and introduced a theocracy based on rule by the ideal Perfect Woman. Men were uneducated, did most of the work while caring for their families, and generally had the attitudes traditionally assigned to women. A manly man and true love leads to the overthrow of the system, and women welcome the restoration of the right order of things.
