What happens when women are stripped of identity, autonomy, and denied basic human rights? In Emily A. Weedon’s Autokrator, their courage fights back and rewrites history. Set in a dystopian world that feels both distressingly alien and alarmingly familiar, Weedon explores the darkest edge of patriarchy with unnerving subtlety and chilling precision, crafting a haunting mediation on how women withstand tyranny and brute force.
For readers who appreciate powerful dystopian fiction in the vein of Margaret Atwood and Naomi Alderman, Autokrator is a visceral and unflinching exploration of what happens when control becomes absolute and women fight to reclaim their humanity.
