Reminiscent of Orwell and Huxley\'s dystopian novels, this classic of women\'s literature is an intelligent and well-written contribution to the sex-role debate.
More than just a humorous romp, Egalia\'s Daughters poses the provocative question of whether the culprit in gender subjugation is gender itself or power-no matter who wields it..
But for better or for worse, as the masculist party begins to organize and protest, the landscape of Egalia threatens to change forever.
This re-telling of the prototypical coming-of-age novel will have readers laughing out loud and wondering who should prevail: poor Petronius, who wants more than anything to cruise the oceans as a seawom; or his powerful and protective mother Director Bram, who rules her family with an authoritarian righteousness.
Welcome to the land of Egalia, where gender roles are topsy-turvy as wim wield the power and menwim light the home fires.
