''[[The Passion of New Eve]]'' (1977) is a [[Dystopia|Dystopian]] novel by [[
It's about a British man, Evelyn, who is, well, ''castrated by [[Straw Feminist|Militant Feminists]]'' and made into "a New Eve". It's a satire on Feminism in general, Freudianism, and all other sorts of things. Also features a Dystopic America in the process of caving in on itself.

=== Tropes in ''The Passion of New Eve'': ===▼
* [[All Psychology Is Freudian]]: Mother's reverse-Oedipal philosophizing
* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]
* [[Amazon Brigade]]
* [[Angry Black Man]]: They rove in gangs through the [[Big Applesauce]], in ''tanks''. They just bombed Grand Central Station, and they're putting blockades up around Harlem...
Line 16:
* [[Closer to Earth]]
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Parodied
* [[The End of the World
* [[Fan Disservice]]: So, '''so''' much.
* [[Female Misogynist]]: Angela Carter, in writing this.
* [[Gonk]]: Mother.
* [[It Got Worse]]: It really, ''[[Serial Escalation|really]]'' does.
* [[Leaning
{{quote|
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: This trope is inadequate to encompass Carter's description of Evelyn being [[Incredibly Lame Pun|sMothered]] by Mother's gargantuan mammarian underworld.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Duh.
Line 33:
* [[Straw Feminist]]: Featured ohhhh so very prominently.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Evelyn. Seriously.
* [[
** The title-character even [[Lampshade Hanging|hangs a lampshade]] on [[Contrived Coincidence|how ridiculous]] it is that a man named Evelyn would be the subject of Mother's transsexual transformation.
* [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]]: The whole surgery, turning Evelyn into Eve in a couple months. Of course, this was written in 1977, so I think that might actually have been even ''more'' science-fiction then than it is now.
