Publisher Description

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?

"Although I last read this book in middle school, I in no way remember it being "anti-feminist." To the contrary. I do however, remember it being exceptionally dark. I was reminded of this book after I read the book Living Dead Girl, by Elizabeth Scott. "

— Kathryn (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Published in 1979, this book has a strong message about women's role in society and the changes from one generation to the next. Worth reading, though a little weird of course. Also touches on the power of persuasion/adult's control over teens, family alcoholism and teen pregnancy/abortion. Sorority in a high school = Daughters of Eve. "

    " This particular book was just plain scarey. The story was exceptionally good (though I kept waiting for a demon or such to appear in explanation). The 'teen "Mob" mentality' especially under the guidance of a trusted/twisted adult is very frightening. "

    " An enjoyable read..a bit predictable and cliche. I think this book was made into a movie, as the storyline is very familiar. For the life of me though, I can't figure out why this book is on a banned books list. I have read worse ones, even from that period of time. "

    " The swearing is unbearable, SEX is in it!!!! It trashes morals BUT! It has a good handle on the problems of feminism and it shows how a good idea can lead to mass corruption! The ending is trashy and you are left unsatisfied! "

    " An interesting look at feminism and how easily it can be to get swept into a cult unknowingly. We've come a long way since the books setting, women have more equal footing now but each character's personal struggles can still ring true even today. "

    " It really touched on an important subject,and that is women and how they're so underestimated. But i did expect it to be scarier, which is why it didn't get all 5 stars. Other than that, i loved it! "

    " This is very bizarre. Not sure if it's supposed to be anti-feminist or just exploring the cult mentality. I remember reading this in middle school, when I was a fan of Duncan's works. Down A Dark Hall is my favorite. Schubert is in it! Sort of. "
