Feminist novel with a stress on struggle but that includes eutopian and dystopian elements. The novel is set on four timelines: the witch-burning past, the present in which a group of feminists are targeted by anti-feminists, a feminist eutopian future which is threatened by those who worship mathematics, and the period of the Godmothers, a period in which the ties among women are affirmed.
