A soaring coming-of-age novel that delves into the depths of misogyny and challenges societal norms. When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill is a fierce, unmistakably feminist, and subversively funny exploration of the power of women.
In a world where girls and women are taught to be quiet and subservient, the dragons within them are about to be set free. Barnhill's novel takes place in 1950s America, a time when women were expected to conform to traditional gender roles and stay small.
Alex Green is four years old when she first glimpses a dragon in her neighbor's garden. The enormous dragon, with an astonished expression on its face, opens its wings and soars away across the rooftops. However, Alex's mother disappears, and reappears a week later, with no explanation as to where she has been. She is a ghostly shadow of her former self, with scars across her body, as though she had been attacked by a monster that breathed fire.
As Alex grows from a young girl to a fiercely independent teenager, she is desperate for answers to the mystery surrounding her mother's disappearance and the impending Mass Dragoning. But no one is willing to give her the truth, and the Mass Dragoning is soon to change everything forever, making it unmentionable.
When Women Were Dragons is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to fans of The Handmaid's Tale, Vox, and The Power. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of women and the power of imagination to challenge the status quo.
