Ammonite (novel)

Nicola Griffith's first published novel. In a world with no men, showed that men aren't needed ... for oppression, brutality, and human stupidity. A compelling rejoinder to idealized views of women from difference feminism.

The novel follows the story of the character Marghe Taishan. Other characters include:

• Thenike (Marghe's lover)
• Uaithne
