Queen B’s Decree: I’ve had a relatively good run of book club books, statistically it was time for a failure.
When Women Were Dragons is this weird feminist story…yet I still don’t really know why anything happened, as I quit at about 30%. A large group of American women turned into dragons in a massive event in the 1950’s…and then they all disappeared?
I had hoped we would get more dragon time. And not just snippets of their initial change. It was all told from the perspective of the main character, who was a child at the time, so she is missing a lot of information.
And maybe all the dragons were lesbians or oppressed by the patriarchy? WHO KNOWS?
A swing and a miss for me.
