Awakening after three centuries, Dane discovers he's among the last survivors on his family's starship, accompanied only by androids. Longing for companionship and a family, he sends the androids to Earth in search of a wife. They return with Elaine, an elderly woman beyond childbearing age, complicating his dreams of family.

Focusing on the historical contributions of women to the field of international relations, the book reveals how their intellectual labor has been systematically marginalized and erased. Patricia Owens highlights the significant roles played by women scholars and thinkers from the early twentieth century, documenting their influence on key issues like empire, colonialism, and international organizations. Through extensive archival research, she exposes the gendered and racialized narratives that shaped the discipline, advocating for a recognition of women's contributions as essential for its future renewal.
