What would happen to the world if women suddenly became physically stronger than men? Now men are the weaker sex. And everything changes: ideas about gender, strength, weakness, rights, duties and decency, power structure and geopolitical alignments. The preacher of a new religion, the daughter of a London mobster, the Nigerian stringer, and the American official with political ambitions are experiencing this change with the whole world - they were the first to experience a paradigm shift. The Force by Naomi Alderman, The Handmaid's Tale for a New Age, is a witty and brutally sober story about exactly how the world would change if the gender balance of power were simply turned on its head. Are fundamental changes coming? Will the world get better? This is a novel about the nature of power and what it does to people, about the nature of violence. Is it possible to change the world so that violence as such is gone from it, or is it part of the nature of homo sapiens? The novel won the Baileys Women's Prize (an award given to female authors).
