The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this release from 

the publisher in exchange for an honest review

While I love a feminist dystopia, I have begun to find them a bit stagnant so when I heard about the feminist sci-fi novel “The Future of Another Timeline” by Annalee Newitz I thought it might be exactly the change I was looking for…and I was so right! In a world where time travel is possible (but only to the past) “edits” are being made to the timeline to create an alternate future. Members of The Daughters of Harriet are fighting to maintain rights while Comstockers (followers of anti-“vice” crusader Anthony Comstock) are working hard to erase any past gains to LGBTQ+ rights, suffrage, and reproductive justice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⠀

Summary:⠀
.⠀
1992: After a confrontation at a riot grrl concert, seventeen-year-old Beth finds herself in a car with her friend's abusive boyfriend dead in the backseat, agreeing to help her friends hide the body. This murder sets Beth and her friends on a path of escalating violence and vengeance as they realize many other young women in the world need protecting too.⠀
.⠀
2022: Determined to use time travel to create a safer future, Tess has dedicated her life to visiting key moments in history and fighting for change. But rewriting the timeline isn’t as simple as editing one person or event. And just when Tess believes she's found a way to make an edit that actually sticks, she encounters a group of dangerous travelers bent on stopping her at any cost.⠀
.⠀
Tess and Beth’s lives intertwine as war breaks out across the timeline--a war that threatens to destroy time travel and leave only a small group of elites with the power to shape the past, present, and future. Against the vast and intricate forces of history and humanity, is it possible for a single person’s actions to echo throughout the timeline?
