Annie, Renee and Sherylann are aunts. They work in a dentist’s office in Williamsburg and are all rapidly approaching middle age. They make their coffees, drink from their intense water bottles, and bemoan the misery of babysitting, and the shame of being a rapidly aging woman all alone. But what’s that, Sherylann, you actually want kids? And Renee, you’re freezing your eggs?!
GAH! Fwowf! All of a sudden, their worlds crack open. And through that crack, a line of liberated ants marches in.
Gleefully, disgustingly and biologically serious, A(U)NTS! explores how the largely childless, largely female, rigorously organized societies of tiny insects known as ants can model a different life for human women.
