The Gate to Women's Country

A Novel

Sheri S. Tepper

This gripping post-holocaust feminist dystopian novel features a world with only two political options: a repressive polygamist sect or the matriarchal dictatorship of Women's Country. In an effort to prevent another world war, women have taken on every government, industrial, and societal role, while men are mostly sequestered in closed military garrisons. Follow Stavia's growth from a dreaming 10-year-old to mother, doctor, and member of the Marthatown Women's Council. This novel is a thought-provoking and rewarding read that challenges traditional societal structures.
