Jolly interesting! Rather a tome - took me three years to get round to reading it because it is a paper brick, nay breize block. Well worth the effort however, because it tells you about lots of interesting writers, characters, minds and works that you haven't heard of, and they are just as interesting as the ones you have heard of.
Great, increases the number of interesting things to read et c., and illustrates the political point that it has happened. (

Epigraph

The number is larger than appears on the surface, for the fear of public ridicule, and the loss of private favors from those who shelter, feed and clothe them, withholds many from declaring their opinions and demanding their rights. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage, History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 1, 1881

Dedication

For my mother, my sister, my friend, and my self.

First words

Why didn't I know? This book has its origins in my personal experience: in the late 1960s an over-riding issue in my life was to find out whether other women felt and thought as I did in a male-dominated society.
