One day, the government passes a decree: from now on, women are allowed 100 words a day.

Dr. Jean McClellan doesn't accept that - it can't happen here. Not in America. Not with him. But this is just the beginning.

Soon women will no longer have jobs. Girls are not taught to read and write. Females no longer have a voice. In the past, the average man spoke sixteen thousand words a day, but now women only have a hundred to make their voices heard.

But this is not the end. For herself, her daughter, and all silenced women, Jean wants to reclaim her voice.

A heart-wrenching, unforgettable story about what a woman is willing to do to protect her daughter and herself, in America, where half the population has been condemned to silence.
