"Welcome to the land of Egalia, where the rules of society are very different. In this hilly seaside town, gender roles are topsy-turvy - "wim" wield the power while "menwim" mind the household chores. It has been this stringent for as long as anyone can remember. But for how much longer will the ruling state of affairs remain unchallenged? " "More than just a whimsical romp, Egalia's Daughters poses the question of whether the culprit in gender subjugation is gender itself or power - no matter who wields it. "--BOOK JACKET.
