AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The unnamed narrator travels from the present day (1883) into the distant future, a utopian future. She observes a woman and her two late-teenage children, a girl and boy, as they travel through a museum that houses 'relics of what was once called the "Christian Era," subsequently designated by historians as the "The Age of Blood and Malevolence," the period from the 15th to the 21st centuries. The children are instructed on the gender inequalities of the past.

'Pioneer feminist Henrietta Augusta
Dugdale holds an important place in
Australian history. Her witty, forceful
campaigning helped bring women's rights
to prominence in the second half of the
nineteenth century. This biography of a
thrice-married woman, who was born in
St Pancras, London, during the reign of
George IV and died 91 years later at Point
Lonsdale, Victoria, seeks to understand why
and how she came to Australia, became a
vegetarian, a secularist, initiated the first
female suffrage society in Australasia and,
in her late middle age, published a futuristic
allegory titled A Few Hours In a Far Off Age.
