It has to have two women in it: Agatha, Zeetha, Pix, Countess Marie, Rivet, Eotain & Shrdlu, Trish Belloptrix, Dame Aedith, Professor Moonsock, the mad scientist dying to test her steam-powered feet design…
Who speak to each other: Yes. A lot. Agatha talks to pretty much everyone, and there’s a big scene where several women are all talking to each other.
About something besides a man: Zeetha and Agatha talking about Zeetha’s homeland and Agatha’s warrior training, Marie and Agatha discussing the death of Marie’s female friend, Trish giving Agatha acting advice, Rivet showing Agatha her tools……
Really, every volume passes the test, but it’s after this volume where test-passing scenes really start to pick up.
