Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett is about a young girl that accidentally
gets bestowed with wizard magic in a world where men are wizards and
women are witches. She tries to train as a witch but finds it to be
inadequate to learn to control her powers and must seek out Unseen
University to try to get training as a wizard. While this book wasn't
quite as funny as The Colour of Magic or The Light Fantastic, there were
still plenty of bits to make me laugh and I really enjoyed the theme of
defying accepted gender roles.
