Intentional communities with gender separatism
From FSFwiki
(Redirected from List of works with intentional communities designed along gender lines)
This is a list of works featuring intentional communities designed along gender lines. The fictional communities themselves were planned. This is distinguished from worlds where gender division happened through disease or mishap. (See, e.g., Works featuring skewed gender ratios; works simply featuring matriarchies for whatever reason.) It is closely related to works featuring separatism, but some intentional communities designed along gender lines may not be separatist communities.
