​Ladies' Day

​First Published: 1968
Publisher: Belmont Books
​Format: Paperback
Picture
​Summary: Dale Barton is put into cryonic hibernation in 1971. He wakes to the shocking discovery that the year is now 2121, and the world has changed drastically in his absence. Dale learns that after the “Third War” of the 1970s, a decimated male population became the “weaker sex”—with women now in all the lead positions of business, politics, and society. With wars banned, weapons destroyed, world-wide hunger eliminated, and previous family structures realigned, the world slowly approaches utopia—who could complain? A large group of “renegades” do—men working to overthrow the current matriarchal order and restore the world back to its previous male-dominated state. And Dale, caught in the middle, is faced with a decision that literally will change the world.

Bloch: There is little to nothing to be found on Bloch speaking about Ladies' Day.

Note: Published bound with another Bloch novel, This Crowded Earth.
