Synopsis
Pratchett mocks the conventions of warfare and has yet another go at one of his favorite topics--the role of women in a repressive society--in this 29th Discworld novel. In the small, constantly warring country of Borogravia, it is against the local religion for women to own a business. That means that Polly Perks won't be able to keep running her family's inn after her father dies. Her only choice is to find his lawful heir, her older--and considerably less clever--brother Paul, who joined the army the previous year. Dressing herself as a boy, she too turns soldier, and is shocked to discover that practically all of the other recruits in her units seem to be women in disguise, too.
