Everyone lives in 'Associated homes' and works a six hour day mostly in cooperatives. Population control. Strict control on in-migration. Eugenics. Women work equally with men in all occupations. Ireland now part of the United Commonwealth of Great Britain and Ireland, but all four component units have some independent political institutions. Based in part on the writings of Jane Hume Clapperton, particularly her SCIENTIFIC MELIORISM AND THE EVOLUTION OF HAPPINESS (London: Kegan Paul, Trench & Co., 1885)." - Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985 (additions). The Scottish-born Spence (1825-1910) moved with her family to Australia in 1839 when she was 14 and became a writer and feminist there. Stone, Notes on Australian Science Fiction, pp. 78-9.
