emilykatereads 's review for:
She
by H. Rider Haggard
Ah, yes, just another Victorian novel in which the narrator is just "a bit of a misogynist" (Haggard 85). The strong female character is just a facade.
Interesting story though. I like stories that refer to classical times. And it's interesting to place the time this novel was written in context with what was happening in Victorian England at the time; men were threatened by the rising power of woman, and them demanding more rights, and so having a semi-matriarchal system in a "savage" society shows how men believe that woman having power = degradation of society. Lol @ men.
That basically is a TL;DR version of my essay due Wednesday (on this book and Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming Race).
