    About this audiobook

    The girls at Modesta High School feel like they're stuck in some anti-feminist time warp-they're faced with sexism at every turn, and they've had enough. Sponsored by their new art teacher, Ms. Stark, they band together to form the Daughters of Eve. It's more than a school club-it's a secret society, a sisterhood.

    At first, it seems like they are actually changing the way guys at school treat them. But Ms. Stark urges them to take more vindictive action, and it starts to feel more like revenge – brutal revenge. Blinded by their oath of loyalty, the Daughters of Eve become instruments of vengeance. Can one of them break the spell before real tragedy strikes?

    Lois Duncan

    Lois Duncan (1934–2016) was an author of more than fifty books for young adults. Her stories of mystery and suspense have won dozens of awards and many have been named Best Books for Young Adults by the American Library Association. Among the many honors and accolades she has received for her work, in 2015, Lois Duncan was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America.  Duncan was born Lois Duncan Steinmetz in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; she grew up in Sarasota, Florida. By age ten she was submitting her work to magazines, and she had her first story published nationally when she was just thirteen. In 1994, Duncan released a nonfiction title, Who Killed My Daughter?, after her youngest child was killed in a crime that was never solved.

      A new teacher serves as faculty sponsor for the Daughters of Eve club in a Michigan high school. This teacher, Irene, has influence over the girls in the club and uses it as they all share secrets.The male chauvinism and stereotypical women's roles in this world are just a bit before my time. I know people dealt with this in the sixties and seventies, but I never witnessed such actions and attitudes myself (that I recall).
    • 3/5
      The sad portrayal of the straw feminist ruins one of Lois Duncan's YA thrillers. Too bad.
    • 3/5
      What a strange book. At first I couldn't decide whether it was a very heavy-handed feminist book or an equally heavy handed anti-feminist book. Finally I realised that it was actually a psychological thriller, or as a sociological thought experiment. It was an interesting concept, but it sadly did lack in subtlety and therefore didn't have the impact it might otherwise have achieved. The funniest part was when they humiliated a boy by shaving his head. His terror and shame would hardly be the same now; interesting to see how transient are the horrors that affect our fragile egos.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book as a teenager in the '80's. A good suspense book - the teacher becomes more and more intense and radical as the school year progresses and each of the "Daughters" reacts to this in a different way. The epilogues are particularly interesting.
    • 3/5
      I don't remember much about this book, but it's a pretty dark and interesting look into the lives of sorority girls.
    • 5/5
      One of the best books ever. It may be dated, but the story is still compelling. An exclusive high-school group called "Daughters of Eve" get a new advisor, who teaches them about injustices in a male-dominated world.
    • 4/5
      Even though this book is 40 years old, it has really stood the test of time. An adult reader who remembers the 1970's will recognize echoes of 1970's Feminism, this book holds up surprisingly well. The shocker is that there is no real punishment for the teenagers, nor the adults, who run amuck here.
    • 4/5
      Pretty dated, even in the new "updated" versions. But still so, so relevant.
    • 4/5
      At Modesta High School there is a chapter of the Daughters of Eve who are sending out invitations for their new members. They have a new teacher, Irene Stark, who is going to mix things up a bit—you know—really get things done. With Irene leading them, this social club quickly turns into a group of girls who will test their social and moral boundaries at every chance they get. I actually had a hard time with parts of the book. The extreme levels that were taken had me with the feeling that these ideas gave feminism a bad stereotype. I started the book thinking it would be milder but Duncan definitely has you questioning the actions of some of the characters.I couldn’t wait to get to the end (and boy did it end with a bang!!) to see if I would feel better about their actions. I am pleased to say, when I closed the book and though about their actions as a whole, I was kind of in love with it. I think Duncan was right in writing it with the extremes she did because she smacks you with something that you MUST think about. Irene may be a bit insane at times, but haven’t we all been there? I remember literally seeing red after a comment about women from a guy in college. I was literally blind with rage and wanted to punch him—I didn’t punch him, but I guess I’m a softy that way. The point is that the book was a bit extreme, but I get it.The best part was that Irene reminded me of a college professor I had for Women’s Studies. She had that passion and enraged fire that made you want to go out and change the world. I love that when I closed the book I felt like I had just gotten out of one of her lectures.This is an excellent book that may have you questioning both sides but the important thing is that it will make you think.
