Dream Country contains 4 disturbing stories: Calliope, A Dream of a Thousand Cats, A Midsummer-Night's Dream, and Facade. Plus, Gaiman has included his script for Calliope which gives us insight into Gaiman's writing process on this particular story. But since this is a graphic novel, we also get to see it. Rape is so abhorrent to me that I dislike seeing it in books or films. Facade features ...

A Year of Feminist Classics. Because they're better together :). 8216;The Feminine Mystique’ – Betty Friedan. On October 2, 2012. In 1957 Betty Friedan.

I think it’s the meat of this book that makes it so interesting, rather than Friedan’s own background, so shall we get right into analysing it? Join 216 other followers.
