A GOODREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A fiery feminist fantasy tale set in 1950s America where thousands of women have spontaneously transformed into dragons, exploding notions of a woman\u2019s place in the world and expanding minds about accepting others for who they really are.<\/p>\n

“Ferociously imagined\u2026and as exhilarating as a ride on dragonback.”\u2014Lev Grossman, bestselling author of The Magicians Trilogy<\/p>\n

“Completely fierce, unmistakably feminist, and subversively funny.”\u2014Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry<\/p>\n

In the first adult novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Ogress and The Orphans, Alex Green is a young girl in a world much like ours, except for its most seminal event: the Mass Dragoning of 1955, when hundreds of thousands of ordinary wives and mothers sprouted wings, scales, and talons; left a trail of fiery destruction in their path; and took to the skies. Was it their choice? What will become of those left behind? Why did Alex\u2019s beloved aunt Marla transform but her mother did not? Alex doesn\u2019t know. It\u2019s taboo to speak of.<\/p>\n

Forced into silence, Alex nevertheless must face the consequences of this astonishing event: a mother more protective than ever; an absentee father; the upsetting insistence that her aunt never even existed; and
watching her beloved cousin Bea become dangerously obsessed with the forbidden.<\/p>\n

In this timely and timeless speculative novel, award-winning author Kelly Barnhill boldly explores rage, memory, and the tyranny of forced limitations. When Women Were Dragons exposes a world that wants to keep women small\u2014their lives and their prospects\u2014and examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve.<\/p>\n
