so-soWhile I overall liked this, it was a bit too pedantic, and the all female country was a little too perfect. The practice of eugenics that led to their utopia was, although only mentioned once as history, disturbing. The narrator also views attempted rape in a “boys will be boys” manner. I loved that their society included pockets — lots of them— in the women‘s clothing, showing not much has changed since Gilman wrote this.
Well, it started snowing here, so I‘m inside with Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the lovely cup of tea my husband just made me.
so-soThis book was a quick read about feminism. I like the many personal stories and how it was more an of essay then a book. Nice little short read! Although it didn‘t really mention anything I didn‘t already know or belive.
Looking forward to the Dworkin reissues! (Great covers imo.) I‘ve read 2 of these 3, and had to read them as pdfs 🙃 so we‘re well overdue for the reprint.
pickI thought this was an interesting audiobook. It looks at tv and film and how things have changed over time.
