Fay Weldon's new novel blasts into the Brave Now World which women - and their men - fought for, agonised over, and thought they would inherit.

There's the feminist publishing house, Medusa, founded one balmy evening in a flurry of argument, peace-making naked dancing.

There's Layla: noisy, darlingish, high-profile: 'l am the only right thinking feminist there is. It's all the others who are out of step.'

And Alice, the academic, the philosopher, the - eventually -- Glastonbury witch.

And Nancy, boring, sensible Nancy who is the only one with any business nous.

And Stephanie - the one who leaves her husband and children to embrace politics, men, other women ...

Their stories are intertwined with twenty years of all our lives - blissful, rage-filled, treacherous, redemptive.

From the Publisher:

'Packed with incident, and issues ranging from Greenham Common to wife abuse ... As a novel, Big Women is tremendously entertaining. 'The story of these ebullient female egomaniacs trying to change the world because it is too difficult to change themselves has an endearing sadness about it too' - Carmen Callil, Daily Telegraph

'Delightfully told . .. Weldon can still serve up glittery little ironies' - The Sunday Times
