Are Women Human? by Dorothy L. Sayers
5.0
Despite Sayers reluctance to say she is a feminist this is a feminist book. Her discontent with first wave feminism is merely an observation that “white feminism” focuses more on emulating white men than it does on liberating women.
It would have been groundbreaking for its time in the christian church (and even in some now) as she discusses individualism and how woman are more like man (and vice versa) than any other creature on earth.
I can’t help but feel her real audience was reluctant men. Her commentary on the life of woman still rings true for a lot of woman today. I think she would have gotten along great with feminist icon Bell Hooks.
