Annotation | Satire. The novel presents a future devoted to the improvement of the white race through eugenics. On the whole, the society is presented positively, but there is a strong satiric thread throughout. In her Women's Utopias in British and American Utopian Fiction Nan Bowman Albinski calls this an ambiguous eutopia and simply a eutopia (79-80). I initially called it a eugenic dystopia, but I have concluded that dystopia is too strong a label. |
