Soon after the turn of the twentieth century, a group of progressive era feminists set off to a remote Australian island in order to form a more perfect feminist union—the minute feminist micronation of Seneca Falls. Three generations later, their matriarchal society fully sovereign, an unexpected accident throws the young nation into its first constitutional crisis.
BIG POTATO DICTATOR is the story of AC, Seneca’s wide-eyed though somewhat dimwitted young political heir. Immediately following the death of his mother and older sister in a suspicious boating accident, AC suddenly becomes the small nation’s first male leader. Struggling to find his political voice in the face of mounting national protest, AC warily navigates an antagonistic press, a self-righteous public skeptical of his leadership, and an overambitious wife who aggressively challenges his authority through an attempted coup d’état. Under the heavy pressure of monumental family expectations, AC reluctantly forges a maverick feminist legacy.
