Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal
4.0

Environmental disaster and genetic disorder have lead to a world without men. In the rural town of Beyonce's Thighs, nudist Mayor Gaia works to keep up her people's spirits. They work together in communal farms and gardens, and begin construction on a hospital to serve the region. Meanwhile, life goes on: poet Ina has a crush on Layla, who is dating Lara, but they argue a lot. Yumi suffers from anxiety, but is working on meditation to help gain some inner calm. Grandma Ulaana teaches youngsters Emiko and Naomi about the past, an era of forgotten pop culture, malls, and misogynistic jokes. Each woman must make her own way in this utopian post-apocalyptic future. These stripes were originally serialized on instagram, and there are more stories online than fit into the book. If you want to read more, especially about the coming of age adventures of Emiko and Naomi, find them @aminder_d on instagram.
