**Egalia’s Daughters** (original title: *Egalias døtre*) is a novel by Gerd Brantenberg that was first published in 1977 in Norwegian. The novel is like most of Brantenberg's other work norm-breaking in such a way that it questions the social, existential and erotic position of women in the society. The book has been translated into several languages and is considered a feminist literature classic.
The name of the former feminist community Megalia was based partly on the name of this book.
