Eutopia with dystopian elements. Described at the beginning in purely eutopian terms but becomes an atypical gender-role reversal story with the women having primarily mental powers and the men from another planet having only physical and technological powers. The women expel the invaders, and their men remain subversive.

The first of two stories about winged people in South America that were created by an English scientist and have evolved into a substantial, well-established civilization, conflicts with the outside world, and, finally, acceptance and integration. In comparison to the men, the women are small and weak. The second story is \“Women With Wings.\” Illus. [Ed] Leonard. Air Wonder Stories 1.11 (May 1930): 984-1003.

In it, the political geography of the world has changed substantially, primarily through consolidation, and the world is ruled by the representatives (all men) of the ten most powerful nations. \“Color was of no consequence\” (986). Universal language (987). Use the sun and radium for energy (988). The issue faced by the culture is that a high percentage of women are dying in childbirth. Contact is made with Venus where an amphibious race has evolved, also with wings, in which the women are dominant, and the men are weak and small. The solution for Earth is interbreeding which is successful.

Mostly adventure and romance, but a flawed high-tech utopia is present that is vegetarian, telepathic, can communicate with animals, has painless euthanasia for both humans and animals, and has an island with no government set aside for higher education where men and women are free to go to study and teach. But the society is also hierarchical with slavery and has treated one group as not even able to be slaves. The ending indicates that some of this will change.

The sun is dying, and the human population has declined in numbers, intelligence, and physique from relying on the machines and production of the past, machines that are also dying. The most intelligent of the remaining population build great caves far underground to which the remaining population of the Earth retreated after the sun died. The decline was from a scientific world eutopia.
