The introduction was wordy and the second essay carried references to which I was not familiar. ( ) Mary McDermott Shideler introduces us to two essays author Dorothy L. Sayers wrote about women and also provides a few remarks she made in an introduction to another book she wrote. Sayers did not consider herself a feminist although she did believe women should be able to choose a vocation suited to them. She believed aggressive feminism more harmful than helpful. This quick and interesting read shows Sayers' familiarity with philosophy and showcases her Christian faith. Quick and fun read! Only 69 pages, and they are small. This book is comprised of two essays from the author. The premise is that both men and women are first and foremost human, than male and female (although male and female is in no way separate from their humaness). Point being, sometimes we treat things women do as 'womens' issues, when in reality its a matter of things humans do. If that doesn't make sense, or rubs you the wrong way, just pick up the book and challenge yourself :) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Introduction by Mary McDermott Shideler One of the first women to graduate from Oxford University, Dorothy Sayers pursued her goals whether or not what she wanted to do was ordinarily understood to be "feminine." Sayers did not devote a great deal of time to talking or writing about feminism, but she did explicitly address the issue of women's role in society in the two classic essays collected here. Central to Sayers's reflections is the conviction that both men and women are first of all human beings and must be regarded as essentially much more alike than different. We are to be true not so much to our sex as to our humanity. The proper role of both men and women, in her view, is to find the work for which they are suited and to do it. Though written several decades ago, these essays still offer in Sayers's piquant style a sensible and conciliatory approach to ongoing gender issues.
