I'm looking for a book that tackles bits of womanhood, can be one character or more. I'm okay with it being dark/grimdark, I'd actually enjoy it more : I really need to read something that will make me angry, and if the characters are angry too, it's a huuuge bonus. I'd love a gritty heroine.
It could be historical fiction, fantasy, sci fi, or something contemporary. Even non-fiction.
Bonus if it's set in China or a similar setting (don't reccommend the Poppy War trilogy, I know it)
In the fantasy genre, I've also read Blood Under Bright Haven which qualified, and featured a lot of things I liked, but only scratched the surface of deeper themes imo.

Weirdly I wonder if Heroes of the Frontier by Dave Eggers would fit. The adults suck so much I could see them making you angry.
