Women! is a novel about women. The main character, Shan, believes the women in her life are 'willing slaves of the West'. The book takes the form of a memoir but is considered a novel due to the potential unreliability of human memories. Shan takes the reader on a bumpy ride through the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Japan, and Australia over sixty-six years.
