The Book of the Unnamed Midwife

 Fiction by Meg Elison


After a terrible plague wipes out almost the whole human population, killing 95% of men and 99% of women, the Unnamed Midwife of this story has lost everyone and everything she knows, including her profession. 

This was an engrossing story with a unique voice. I've read other post-apocalyptic stories, and even several with the "virus-kills-almost-all-women" idea, but this one may be the best.
