Overview

Queentide is a feminist dystopian novel set in a near-future Australia, exploring women's resistance, state power, and the fragile boundaries between protest and extremism. Readers drawn to novels such as The Handmaid's Tale will find a provocative and unsettling exploration of power, resistance, and complicity. As violence against women escalates and freedoms are eroded in the name of national security, Australia begins to slide-quietly but decisively-towards authoritarianism. Some women choose to comply. Others choose to fight back. When fear is weaponised and radical acts force the nation to confront its own complicity, the line between protest and extremism becomes dangerously blurred. Fierce and unflinching, Queentide explores women's rage, the cost of silence, and the uncomfortable truth that resistance rarely leaves clean hands-or clear consciences. This second edition includes a new author's note reflecting on how the imagined future of Queentide, first published in 2021, has echoed into the present, along with book club resources to guide the conversations this novel is destined to spark.
