When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill (2022) Doubleday

Kelly Barnhill steps out of her typical genre for kids and writes a wonderful satire on our patriarchal societal restrictions from the 40's through today.  If a woman you know, dragoned (metamorphosed into a dragon) how would you handle it?  Could you pretend it didn't happen?  Would that change anything?  And what would you do when it reached a tipping point?  Ms. Barnhill ponders these questions and provides good answers too.

Footnote: Ms. Barnhill suffered a concussion (her third) and worries about writing again.  I say, don't worry it, let the idea and the words come.  Because when they do, you write them down beautifully.
