Are Women Human? by Dorothy L. Sayers
5.0
A true gem.
Very funny and still surprisingly relevant.
Some topics she spoke about 90 years ago are sadly still a mystery to some people.
For example when she was asked by a man how she was able to portrait conversations between men so accurately. Did she grow up in a large family with brothers? With lots of male friends?
When she says no neither he is completely stunned. And she explains to him that she just thought of men as human beings.
Seems like a very simple concept? It should be. Sadly the reverse is still not possible for a shockingly large amount of male authors writing female characters.
