The Iron Woman is a science fiction novel written by Hughes as a sequel to his much acclaimed 1968 novel The Iron Man featuring engrossing illustration from Andrew Davidson. The Iron Woman is a testament to Hughes's devotion to nature in its loud appeal for humankind to counter the pollution of the earth via industrial waste. The Iron Woman is Hughes's vessel for this prescient message as she comes to seek vengenence for society's relentless destruction and oblivious decimation of the natural world order.
