This was a genuinely very fun, engaging book. I loved all the gender politics in here, and Esk was AMAZING and Granny Weatherwax was OMGFANTASTIC and it was all really enjoyable. The only thing that stops it from being a 5 star review, for me, is that some of the last 25% or so of the book, when things got particularly magic-based and other-worldly, started to lose me a bit. And the ending was just kind of weird. Still. Loving Discworld so far; cannot wait to continue!!! Next up: MORT!

I don't think there's ever been a lady wizard before. I rather think it might be against the lore. Wouldn't you rather be a witch? I understand it's a fine career for girls.

Story of a woman's life.

Equal rites is one of those books that makes otherwise hard themes fun and quite possibly more palatable to read. This is not to say that it doesn't resonate or do justice to the subject matter but it does so in such a humorous way that in this case at least, you see the foolishness of girls' being denied 'equal rites'

4 stars would totally recommend as an amazing read if you'd like to get into the Discworld universe.
