Anno Domini 2000, or, Woman's Destiny (1889) is often referred to as New Zealand's first science fiction novel.[1][2] It was written by former Prime Minister of New Zealand Sir Julius Vogel while he was in England.[3] It anticipated a utopian world where women held many positions of authority, and in fact New Zealand became the first country to give women the vote, and from 1998 to 2008 continuously had a female Prime Minister, while for a short period (2005–2006) all five highest government positions (Queen, Governor-General, Prime Minister, Speaker of the House and Chief Justice) were simultaneously held by women.
