Femaleoppression Stories

The world has been ravished by several wars and mankind is forced to pick up the pieces of their broken lives and put them back together giving rise to a patriarchal civilization in which women are oppressed just like it was in the olden days. Women are forced to masquerade as men to fulfill dreams and take care of needs facing the steep penalty of death should they be discovered. But in this new era there is more than just oppression to fear especially when people with strange powers are brought together by an enemy hellbent on the destruction of the already fragile peace that has been obtained.

A curator of forgotten domestic relics begins to notice a pattern woven through centuries - silk instead of iron, praise instead of chains. As she traces the quiet architecture shaping women's lives, she discovers that the most enduring prisons are the ones mistaken for tradition - and that even the finest thread can be unpicked.
