Title information

What is special about it and made it so influential is that its cast of principal characters are all women and, though there is some romance and a few male characters, it gives a detailed and largely sympathetic (if mildly satiric) glimpse into the daily lives of women in a small village who create their own feminine society and set its hierarchy and rules.
