You won't find a woman who isn't an absolute force in Pure. These women are not to be messed with. There's even a leader of a group called the "mothers" whose name is Our Good Mother. Oh, and these mothers are fused together with their own children, stuck to take care of them for eternity.
The women in this book make the men look pretty foolish at times. Even though this dystopian world still subjugates women and paints the men as superiors, it's pretty easy to see that these women aren't going to take this subjugation lying down.
