“The New Gulliver” is a sparkling, entertaining satire on male domination and the double binds that are imposed on women. Like his famous ancestor, Lemuel Gulliver Jr. finds himself in a strange land amongst people with strange customs. Gulliver is astounded to discover that women are the dominant sex. Along with all other men, he finds himself harrassed, abused, exploited, unfairly used at work, a domestic drudge at home. Gulliver begins to reflect on the workings of the society he was once proud to be part of.
