Disappearing Women Barbara E Knight

At the age of 80, Marion has seen the world change.




It is 2070. Climate change and soaring oil prices have taken their toll. Some countries have adjusted and prospered, while others have sunk into poverty and internal warfare.

Marion has seen Australia change from a free democracy to a repressive society ruled by an autocratic Muslim despot.




She has watched how women have disappeared from the workplace and discovered what can befall women who no longer have a man to protect them. How these changes came about are revealed through Marion's journal, as she writes during what may be the last days of her life.
