Sci-Fi Novel Where All Women Gain Power to Kill Men Wins Fiction Prize | Heat Street
'A sci-fi book set in a fantasy world where all women suddenly gain the ability to kill men with a single touch has won a major fiction prize. '
'The Power, by Naomi Alderman, was announced last night as the winner of the Bailey’s Prize for women’s fiction, which carries prize money of £30,000 (about $40,000). '
'Early in the “feminist science fiction” novel, by former Guardian writer Alderman, an unexplained event means women can suddenly fire electrical blasts from their fingertips, inflicting huge pain – and death – on men. '
'The Power was announced as a shortlisted book in April, and was eventually chosen as the best effort by a judging panel. '
'It describes an alternate future in which women find themselves endowed with deadly, electrical superpowers. '

I remember on psy fi channel when i was young they had a movie with a similar plot. It was a woman only universe and one woman created a man. I wish I remember the name, the premise was stupid but it was an interesting movie.
