A number of works have included a gender based separatism in which women live in the cities, and men live in the wild.
- A Woman of the Iron People, Eleanor Arnason (at adolescence, males go walkabout)
- The Shore of Women, Pamela Sargent (male savages meet women only through fake "shrines")
- Xenogenesis trilogy, Octavia Butler (not first book; genetically engineered descendants of humanity -- males go walkabout at adolescence)
- The Gate to Women's Country, Sheri Tepper (men lived in an armed camp, not the wild, per se)
- "Solitude" by Ursula K. Le Guin: women live in villages, men live in the wild
