Dana (24 KP) rated A Serious Proposal to the Ladies in Books

Mar 23, 2018

This was a very interesting read. It is a compilation of, primarily, two essays directed at the women of the Restoration and Revolution period in London, England. While it mainly speaks to women to be more free in their religions, it also talks about women's political freedoms. This seems to be an early feminist essay which calls to give women more power over their lives.

I did enjoy the first essay more than I did the second because the second got a lot more religious and quite repetitive. But it was still interesting.

If you are interested in early feminist lit or in religious literature, check this book out. I think you would thoroughly enjoy it.

Collecting Marvel's Star Wars issues #33 through 37, this is more-or-less a compilation of one-shot stories rather than ant on-going story threads: as such, some of these are better than others.

The same can be said of the art-work.

With stories running the gamut from Luke and Leia trapped on a water(y)-planet, to R2-D2 rescuing C-3PO from the Empire and even from the Point of View of members of the Empire's SCAR squadron, there is plenty of variety here: none, however, (to my eyes) match the impact of the earlier issues (maybe because they were fresher back then?), or even of the cross-over event 'Vader Down'
