Query: Feminism in a Tasty Dystopia Shell

Conrad's afterword to this book, written twelve years after the book's original publication, shows pretty clearly that he had to be and was defensive about its value. I think the strength in this book is not really in the actual machinations of the anarchists, or their pathetic struggle to find strength in their own obvious weakness(this is often too hateful on Conrad's part for my taste--he clearly loathes them), but in Winnie's story, subdued by most of the events of the novel, and her mostly ignored "Maternal Passion" as Conrad puts it. This is the novel's heart, and the rest of the characters make up a sad, self-important circus around what is essentially her modern feminist heroism.
