Kingdom of Women

Description:

The world envisioned by *Kingdom of Women* is much like today’s—except that the Roman Catholic Church has allowed women to be priests; North Dakota has seceded from the United States; and women are forming vigilante groups and fighting back against their oppressors. The story revolves around Averil Parnell, a female priest who becomes embroiled in an obsessive affair and then beset by religious visions, as violent upheavals against patriarchy gather momentum around the world.
