Synopsis: Mothers. Daughters. Warriors. Women.
This is the never-before-told story of history's most ferocious heroines: this is the rise of the Amazons.
When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership. Years later, living in destitution with her abusive husband, she knows that no such thing exists with a man. It is simply a woman's lot in life to accept the treatment of her husband.
Until it's not.
Rallying the women around her, Otrera fights back, taking no prisoners. Because it's clear to her: when men are in power, freedom isn't granted. It's bought with blood. It's a price she is more than willing to pay, if it means building a new life with other women far from the reaches of their abusers.
But a community of women - an army of women - is bound to make enemies of gods and men alike.
Miniature Review
In The Women of Artemis, Hannah Lynn once again breathes new
life into Greek mythology this time exploring the legendary origins of the Amazon
warriors. She crafts a sweeping mythological retelling that pulses with rage,
resilience, and hope. Through the eyes of Otrera, a young woman forced into
marriage too soon, we witness the spark of rebellion that grows into a
revolution one driven by women determined to reclaim their power, freedom, and
future.Hannah’s storytelling shines in its portrayal of female empowerment and solidarity. The women of Ninniya are complex, vividly drawn, and deeply human flawed, brave, and bound by shared struggle. While the opening unfolds slowly, it builds beautifully toward a gripping, emotional crescendo. By the final pages, this feminist historical fiction roars with courage and conviction.
Richly detailed and immersive, The Women of Artemis is a must-read for fans of mythological retellings, Greek myths, and stories of powerful women like Circe and The Silence of the Girls.
