A pioneering feminist adventure in an alternate world—before the concept of gender.
Introduced by Lucy Sante, author of the acclaimed memoir of transition I Heard Her Call My Name, this pioneering 1909 feminist utopia is productively discombobulating. When Mary Hatherley, an intrepid British explorer, is kicked in the head by the camel she was riding through the Arabian desert, she finds herself transported to what seems to be an alternate version of Earth. Arriving in Armeria, she discovers a society in which the very concept of gender is unknown. Like Mary, the reader will become disoriented, but enjoyably so: By avoiding the use of gendered pronouns, the story’s author—herself a gender-fluid activist—challenges our assumptions about gendered social paradigms.

Irene Clyde (b. Thomas Baty, 1869–1954) was an English lawyer, writer, and activist who spent much of her life in Japan. She co-founded the Aëthnic Union, a society dedicated to challenging binary gender distinctions; and for 25 years she helped edit, write, and publish Urania, a privately circulated journal that covered such topics as same-sex relationships, androgyny, and sex changes, and that sharply criticized heterosexual marriage. Beatrice the Sixteenth (1909) is her only novel.
Lucy Sante’s books include Low Life, Kill All Your Darlings, The Other Paris, Maybe the People Would Be the Times, and I Heard Her Call My Name. She was recently appointed an officer of the Order of the Crown by the Belgian government.
