dc.description.abstract	This article explores the feminist and postcolonial potential of Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness Quartet, arguing that even where it accedes to patriarchal and colonial power structures, the fantasy form and genre create an openness that invites the reader to continue to ask questions that subvert these structures.
