Feminism
I just finished rereading The Morning After. In it, Katie Roiphe makes no claim to having all the answers, but she notes (in a quietly expressed, earnest, rational and refreshingly non-shrill style) that the notion of "feminism" she developed as a young girl growing in her home had no resemblence to the "feminism" she encountered at college, which was obsessed with women solely as the victims of ...

The definition of attraction...
Katie Roiphe's book raises critical questions which concern not only the relationship between Dodgson and Alice Liddell, but the very idea of attraction between humans. That he was attracted to Alice, to the point of obsession, is not in question. Was he sexually attracted to her?

Each vignette is ...

A good read...
It's been about two years since I read this, but I remember the book as being dark, brooding, meandering and questioning rather than preachy. Rophie should be admired for not pretending to have all the answers on this difficult and complicated topic. I read the book in one sitting, the writing was that good. I know it's hard to find a positive review of this book on the I-Net, but I liked it ...
