Authoritarianism has crept into the country and women have lost their rights and voices. But Bodie and her militant granddaughter, Insley, are gambling everything to return them.
They have set up a radical feminist group, Queentide, to steal the upcoming election and make Aboriginal politician, Kathleen, the next Prime Minister of an all-women Government. The ex-wife of a senior Minister, Lilith, vows to help them by sharing explosive secrets that will guarantee Queentide's success.
But two things might stop them. A state-backed, violent men's rights group and a bitter power struggle that threatens to tear Queentide apart.
Can the women harness the storm and smash the patriarchy?
Or will Queentide wreck itself?
5 Star Review: Grant Leishman for Readers’ Favorite
'Some books touch a chord deep within readers and for me, Queentide is such a book. The scenario painted by author Donna Fisher is not only believable but, in many ways, long overdue.
What I particularly loved about this story was the constant battle between those who wished to make society a fairer and more just place for all and those who were determined to punish men for their centuries of patriarchy, condescension, and subjugation of women. The battle lines were real and sufficiently blurred for some to lose sight of equality's true objective. I also loved that the author highlighted the two opposing viewpoints between freedom for women and social justice for all the oppressed; the First Nation people of Australia, the LGBTQI community, the disabled, the economically and educationally deprived.
This struggle between two competing ideologies within the women’s movement could split the group's entire political aspirations, and I was super impressed with the way the author deftly raised, explained, and dealt with this. This is a gripping read with colorful and exciting characters that will appeal to readers of all stripes, both political and gender-based. I am now a big fan of this author and hope she will grace us soon with more thoughts, ideas, and stories.'”
