Well, I think the question is whether you'll find the second half as "disappointingly flaccid" as I do; perhaps you won't! It fascinatingly associates feminism with the modern biological discovery of the female counterpart to the masculine seed, i.e. as an advance in scientific knowledge. Nota bene: it in no sense seeks to explain feminism away scientifically -- which would be patently reductive and silly -- but it does make feminist concessions in consequence that even you (:-) might find a little weak. I really recommend the book to you. Of course, Blake and the Snake Simile are surely more important than any of this, and I'll reply more on that front later. |
