Journal Entry 1 by maesul from Ypsilanti, Michigan USA on Monday, June 09, 2003

Creepy! Disturbing! Profound! I read it in a freshman class called "The Supernatural in the Short Story and Novel" years ago... I've read it many times since.

I bought this copy used: it's written in and underlined throughout. But read it anyway. It's worth it. An early feminist classic!

Journal Entry 3 by Rutchmather from Rock Island, Illinois USA on Thursday, June 12, 2003

I just picked up a package at the P.O. with more than I asked for in it ;)

What is a "male chauvinist pig" doing with a Feminist Press book. I call it a RABCK! It isn't too far off topic because I married a feminist (before the term was coined) and she has been 'educating' me ever since.

I'm less of a pig and appreciate her more. Paging through the book I see it does hit on some of the things my wife has had to deal with also-health and professionals who didn't listen.

I'm looking forward to this read and will certainly keep it moving along because I think some of the ideas need to resurface in others lives.

Impressive!

How far have we come since the book was written? (1890's). While undoubtedly there has been progress on the big picture, how is it in "your house"? I have to admit some of what drove his character mad is the same sort of thing that prevailed in the 1970's when I got married.

After 30 years of marriage and not quite 20/20 vision on looking back on it, there is still too much controlling on the men's side, and some willingness to be controlled on the women's side. Blame it on society to be sure, but *we* are society, no?

Young, impressionable women *and* men should visit this book to help avoid the trap. It is a very quick read - and a profound one.

Journal Entry 7 by Gyd from Barcelona, Barcelona Spain on Thursday, July 24, 2003

Well, I've already read it several times and enjoyed quite a lot (maybe a bit too short). At a superficial level it can be read as a good horror story too (...now I have all those vivid images in my head about people creeping around...*grin*)
This book will be travelling back to USA tomorrow, as a RABCK to Amynsperry. Enjoy!

I think that I am going to like this book if it is anything like her other book: Herland. Thank you for sending it to me. I'll write more after I read it.
