World of Women

The human race is currently an endangered species, headed for sure extinction unless a truly effective cure or prevention is found for AIDS/HIV. This story tells of how six modern astronauts find themselves in the future of 4721 AD, in a world that remembers very little of their old race of "mankind". What is remembered places the six in jeopardy of losing their freedom and possibly their lives. The peaceful single-gendered societies of the world are strongly shaken by the arrival of the four nearly-mythical "men" among the ancient Space Shuttle's crew. Struggling for their own acceptance in this new world, the two women wonder for themselves how they can, or if they should, try to gain freedom for all their crewmates.
