Nice introduction that was definitely way ahead of its time. Fairly „feminist“ for it‘s time, does switch between female and male pronouns.
Not 5 Star because a revised edition with colour would have helped immensely to understand the text. Since all the paintings and adverts were only b/w.
I watched the TV show afterwards and it‘s black and white as well, book is better.
