The story traces the travels from an early age of a child who was swept away on a river and rescued by seamen. At each island that he visited, one focus was on the position of women. On one island, they dominated and mistreated the men. On others, there was considerable equality. The journal (1897-1907), a quarterly, was noted for its opposition to patriarchy and its support for women\’s equality. Almost certainly a Singaporean male author, likely the journal\’s editor Lim Boon Keng (1869-1957).
