Sheri S. Tepper's The Gate to Women's Country. Hard to describe it without spoilers, but this is a fair job, although it's not as depressing as this makes it seem.

...enclaves of women run society, relegating men to hyper-masculine garrisons, sending them off to war to thin the numbers, and trying eugenics to solve the problem of men.

Anyway, worth a read, if you haven't.
