Welcome to Litsy!

I'm just glad I finished this read from @SerialReader . I had moments where I wanted to DNF this so bad. So many moments.

I stumbled upon this book when it was mentioned in The Secret History of Wonder Woman as an early feminist story. I found it for free as an Amazon classic download & really enjoyed this very interesting telling of the battle of the sexes, & sadly I can't say that the arguments have changed. 👼🏼👼🏽

From, we'll be lost without women, to women are a pain so glad they aren't here, to discovery of angels. Let's give them odd nicknames based on their looks, argue who gets dibs on which one, to darn it if I'd only had a gun to wing one.... That sure escalated fast! Fly away ladies and fly fast!

So glad I picked up this little gem after seeing it mentioned in The Secret History of Wonder Woman.

..."though Nature had covered her victim with a spangled scarf. It brought out millions of sparkles in the white sand; and there seemed something calculating about that—as though she were bribing them with jewels to forget."
~ Reading some beautiful imagery in this early feminist work tonight.
