The Status of Women in Anthony Trollope's Science Fiction

Although we are now well past the seventh decade of the 20^th Century, there may still be some instruction in reflecting on the long-range predictions about the 1980s made by a leading light of English letters. Everybody knows George Orwell’s pessimistic vision 35 years in advance of 1984. Anthony Trollope’s 1880 imaginings a century into the future are familiar to at best a thousandth as many. Trollope was, however, a widely published and sometimes celebrated literary figure. There are more than twenty pages of mostly Trollope works on Amazon.
