There has got to be more to life than this - surely?

Cat Lewis is a married mother of three young children living in Australia and she has a secret: motherhood is not enough. She loves her children, she loves her husband Christopher, but life with kids feels unfulfilling. 

She longs for something more than just being a homemaker. She longs to learn and if she's honest with herself, she longs to go back to school and study Medicine. With a supportive but slightly clueless husband and less-than-supportive family and friends, Cat has to navigate getting what she wants while defending wanting more. 

This is a story from Cat's perspective on how she bridges the patriarchal chore gaps and strives for things she wants - no matter what.

Matriarchy: No Need For Men. by feminism2
16 parts Ongoing
Chapter 2: World War III (Running!!) Men are gone. Women rule. Imagine a world where men no longer matter-would you survive the matriarchy? What happens when feminism goes too far? This book explores the consequences of a future where the natural balance between men and women collapses. Feminism, having transcended all boundaries, reshapes humanity into a female-centered species. Men, stripped of purpose, exist as relics of the past, serving only as pets in a system that mirrors a hive, where women reign supreme. Biologically, mothers are the gatekeepers of life. Historically, survival forced men and women into partnership-men as protectors and providers, sometimes oppressors, while women adapted to survive under natural pressures. But when humanity masters nature, this necessity vanishes. With no war, famine, or struggle, cooperation dissolves. Robots and AI take over all labor, while science frees women from biological dependence on men, allowing reproduction through stem-cell technology. Men are no longer needed for survival, yet they are not entirely discarded, kept instead as sentimental pets. This is the final form of feminism: a system that abandons equality under the guise of progress, reducing men to a perpetual loop of servitude. Matriarchy: No Need for Men critiques a future where dominance replaces balance, and ideology supersedes the natural truths of human existence. It is a stark warning, not only for men but for all who value the delicate equilibrium that defines humanity.
The House on Harper Lane by ElsieHale
13 parts Ongoing
Winning the lottery doesn't fix you. Charlotte Lewis knows that better than anyone. Thirty million dollars doesn't erase the trauma of growing up in the foster system, doesn't teach you how to belong, and definitely doesn't prepare you for what comes next. Instead of spending her winnings on luxury and escape, she buys something unexpected-a run-down, forgotten house on the outskirts of Charleston, Virginia. A house big enough for the future she's too afraid to believe in. A house meant to become a safe haven for kids like her- kids who need a home, even if she isn't sure she knows how to give them one. But walls don't build themselves, and neither do families. As Charlotte takes on the challenge of rebuilding, she's forced to confront the past she's spent years running from, the loneliness she refuses to name, and the people who refuse to let her do it alone-including Ryan Carter, her frustratingly charming neighbor, who seems determined to chip away at her carefully constructed walls. She never planned on letting anyone in. But maybe home isn't something you build alone. Maybe home is the people who stay.
