scalixtro 's review for:

The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer
4.0

“It was assumed that unmarried women and widows suffered most from hysteria, and that a good husband could fix it. […] Some doctors really believed that est femineo generi pars una uterus omnium morborum, ‘the womb is a part of every illness of the female sex.’

Not even ankle deep in feminist literature but “having kids with a man is a humiliation ritual” somehow came to mind with this one. How strange!
