When Sarai and her fellow emissaries from the Empire disembark from their ship, they find themselves on a planet teeming with life and mystery. The natives, whom they intend to \'civilize,\' are not as malleable as expected and their only other human contact, a man, causes further conflict within their ranks. House of Women is Sophie Goldstein\'s second solo graphic novel, following 2015\'s muchlauded The Oven.
