(1860-1949) US Methodist Episcopal Church minister, founder of a children's home, and author whose nonfiction Birth: A New Chance (1901) espouses – controversially in terms of his faith – a form of Reincarnation. His novel Terrania: or, The Feminization of the World (1930) posits a Near Future Aristophanean strike by women against marriage until War is ended; the victorious leader of the strike becomes World President in 1950, heading a government in which the franchise for men is dependent upon their voting for women (see Feminism). The planet henceforth enjoys peace. [JC]
