Hi there, looking for some escapism into a land where women have political, social and economic power (perhaps even to dystopian levels) over men please. I’ve read Y The Last Man which has some fun energy but was hoping someone has made SOMETHING like this. Any suggestions?

These were a direct cut and paste search from the thread title. I haven’t read them myself. Hope it’s what your looking for.
**The Woman in the Other Universe by Şeyda Aydın**: This novel by the first Turkish feminist and queer science fiction author depicts a utopian world called Netta, where non-sexist, queer, and transgendered individuals coexist peacefully. It contrasts this with a dystopian parallel universe called Antero, which is a reflection of the oppressive norms of the real world.
**Ammonite by Nicola Griffith**: Set on a planet where a virus has eliminated the male population, this novel explores a matriarchal society where women reproduce asexually. The story follows Marghe Taishan, a researcher who adapts to the culture and becomes a traveling wise woman.
**The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley**: This feminist space opera is set in a vast Legion of organic worldships populated solely by women. The narrative delves into themes of sisterhood and betrayal, intertwining the fates of two women whose choices affect multiple worlds.
**Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman**: This early feminist utopian novel portrays a society composed entirely of women who have developed a peaceful and cooperative civilization. Gilman uses this world to critique traditional gender roles and societal norms.
