Read for Reproductive Dystopia in Autumn 2023. I didn't know this book existed before this class and that's a damn shame. It's incisive, particularly given that it was published in 1938 before the war really began and so precisely attributes some of the main issues of fascism to the cult of masculinity. Kind of dry and a bit expositive but generally a decent read for anyone interested in the genre.
