One Thousand White Women

Fergus explores complex relationships and misunderstandings—I'm curious if real historical interactions influenced these portrayals or if they were fictionalized for impact.

The story raises questions about agency and sacrifice, but I wondered how readers interpret the idea of these women voluntarily stepping into peril for peace.

The premise is so unique—I'm curious whether it was based on real proposals or entirely imagined, and what message Fergus aimed to convey through this alternative history.
