3.0

The heroic Men’s Association must defend their traditional way of life against a dreadful feminist who has moved into their territory. Levin cleverly maintains the tension by making her a liberal feminist. If she were a radical feminist they would of course have no chance of success. 

Seriously though, a fun little read. Very much like Rosemary’s Baby, but without the meat you normally get in a novel. Reads almost like a play.
