A note for parents
Equal Rites is a witty fantasy adventure that uses humor to explore themes of gender equality and self-determination. The story features clever wordplay and satirical jabs at social conventions, but remains fundamentally lighthearted with only mild peril and occasional crude humor. Granny Weatherwax is an excellent role model, and the book rewards independent thinking and questioning unfair rules.
