Daughters of Eve
Daughters of Eve | Lois Duncan
7 posts | 23 read | 4 to read
The girls at Modesta High School feel like they're stuck in some anti-feminist time warp-they're faced with sexism at every turn, and they've had enough. Sponsored by their new art teacher, Ms. Stark, they band together to form the Daughters of Eve. It's more than a school club-it's a secret society, a sisterhood. At first, it seems like they are actually changing the way guys at school treat them. But Ms. Stark urges them to take more vindictive action, and it starts to feel more like revenge-brutal revenge. Blinded by their oath of loyalty, the Daughters of Eve become instruments of vengeance. Can one of them break the spell before real tragedy strikes?

Book 66🎧
Sisterhood gone sinister🩸
Lois has a way of keeping you hooked on “what‘s going to happen” literally 2 minutes before the book ends👏🏻
Is justice served?😶

Vaguely remembered reading this book in high school, but couldn‘t recall all of the details so I read it again. Dark twist on feminism for sure. Just wish there would‘ve been more of the story, it ended pretty abruptly.

Another dark one. Apparently I‘m really feeling the Halloween creeps lately. This one was good enough, but not great by any means. 😂💁🏻‍♀️

The audiobook was available via library Overdrive & I was feeling nostalgic for this book & Lois Duncan. For me the updates to the original 1979 version didn't quite fit-it seemed like mostly random mentions of cellphones worked into the story for the 2011 audiobook. It's not that I believe there aren't places where the extent of the sexism in this book still exist, it just didn't flow as well. Still a pick but I'd grab the original book instead.

LisaJo Lois Duncan! I read Summer of Fear when I was in junior high. And it was the first author I ever went back and read all of her books. I like to think of her as my first back list author. Ahhh! Bring brings the wonderful lazy summer days before we became adults. (edited) 7y

This book really messed me up in junior high. I recently reread it and can't figure out why it upset me so. ⭐️⭐️1/2

mcipher I felt the same way when I first read it. Wonder how a re-read would feel... I have to try now! 8y

Inspired by @LibrarianRyan. My choice for #octphotochallenge #disasterouskids is the girls in this book. I read this in high school and really enjoyed it. I wanted to be part of a feminist group (not happening in TX in the '80's), but these girls are lead astray in their search for equality. Try to find the 1979 version - apparently the publisher tried to update the book with horrible results.

MCYmermaid OMG, haven't thought of this in ages!! 8y

Orig 1979, rev 2011, this is feminism gone batshit crazy. With 10 MCs, it takes some focus but the tension builds up beautifully. This left me very uneasy: the attitudes and actions of many seem very '70s and feel creepy and crazy and over-the-top until it doesn't seem crazy or dated at all...
