Geratica is a planet where women have the dominant role. Men, still the stronger of the sexes, are consigned to manual work, whereas the women rule in politics, the professions and in royalty. The core of the planet is female, which is mirrored in sexual activity where women lead the way. For Linda Radcliffe, even in her role as Senior Court Administrator to the queen, life is not easy. Petty jealousies hold sway. Her daughter, Alexandra, a pupil at the Charterhouse College, slated as College Champion and headed for the prime higher educational institution, Castra, is under threat from her peers. In Anne Hampton's The Two Worlds of Geratica, Linda must steer her daughter through the pitfalls inflicted on her by Gillian Spencer, the daughter of Elizabeth-headmistress of Charterhouse-while insurrection threatens where the men of Geratica fight for equal rights.
