Kommentar/Beschreibung

Where would MAN-kind be, if we did not have women (members of the sisterhood and of the "weaker sex") to keep us fed, watered, pampered, on the path of virtue and in love with our own ego???
We will study a selection of fictional texts, which portray some outstanding female characters. Factual texts and pictorial representations will supplement our discussions.
