Angry wives, sleuthing tea ladies, a revenge plot against supreme dictators, and two sisters facing up to rage and middle age: these dynamic and daring narratives trace the trials and tribulations of contemporary and historic womanhood, revealing what’s possible when we follow our desires and resist conforming to society’s rigid expectations.
