About this title: In her lifetime, Dorothy Sayers practices her feminism by keeping in mind her humanity -- by doing exactly what she wanted to do, whether or not that was ordinarily understood to be bfeminineb She did not devote a great deal of time to talking or writing about feminism, but in the essays included here she did address herself particularly to the subject of the role of women in society.
Central to both essays is the authorbs conviction that both men and women are first of all human beings, and must be regarded and treated as essentially much more alike than different. Thus the primary task ...

"Sayers is straightforward, intelligent, and as clear as ever. She takes great delight in skewering some popular errors of feminist though (especially lines like "a woman is as good as a man"), while at the same time taking men to task for condescension.
The most original argument she makes is that the problems modern feminism attempts to address were largely brought on by industrialism, which removed so many occupations from the sphere of the home."
"An amazing set of Dorothy Sayers' essays on women and humanity in general. Her writing often takes on a religious tone, in discussing creation, our life purpose, and the glory in serving God. I was inspired by this book to take a closer look at my current profession and compare it to where I find the most satisfaction and fulfillment in life. It helped move me forward in pursuit of a master's degree and setting a goal to earn my Ph.D."
