Women Talking is a novel inspired by the true story of a Mennonite community in Bolivia where hundreds of girls and women were drugged and raped by men from their own community. The novel is told through the 'minutes' of a secret meeting where the women discuss their options: to stay in the colony, fight back, or escape. The story is narrated by August Epp, a schoolteacher who takes the minutes because the women are illiterate. The novel explores themes of power, faith, and the women's struggle for autonomy and safety in a patriarchal society. It delves into their philosophical, practical, and emotional discussions, highlighting their courage and resilience in the face of horrific abuse.
