In a world reminiscent of the 1950s, an extraordinary event known as the Mass Dragoning of 1955 reshaped society. Ordinary women, wives and mothers, spontaneously transformed into dragons, leaving behind a trail of fire and unanswered questions. This pivotal moment challenged deeply ingrained notions about women's roles and fostered a new understanding of acceptance.
Amidst this upheaval, Alex navigates a reality where speaking of the transformations is taboo. Alex's world is marked by a more protective mother, an absent father, the denial of an aunt's existence, and a cousin's growing obsession with the forbidden. This speculative novel delves into themes of rage, memory, and the constraints imposed by society.
When Women Were Dragons, a GOODREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR, is a powerful exploration of a world that seeks to limit women's lives and prospects. It examines the profound impact when women collectively rise and claim the space they rightfully deserve. This work of Historical Fiction and Feminism offers a unique perspective within the realm of Sci-Fi Novels.
