Title: Still Relevant
Review: A delightful tale that reverses the role of men and women. For me the most significant part of this fantasy centers around women's behavior in this utopian society. Far from running amok, the absence of men merely means more time for the pursuit of arts, science and gardening. A far different picture than is painted by patriarchal religious leaders around the world.This book is a must read because far from being in decline, purdah and variants of purdah (the segregation of men and women, spiritually, socially and eventually legally) is on the rise. It's noxious seeds can be found wherever and when ever men talk about "woman's place". Just one of the debilitating effects of purdah in a democratic society is the belief of the woman that she is not accountable for the character of her community. An issue this book addresses clearly.Buy it!~ In fact, buy several and pass them around. Share it with everyone, friends, sisters, daughters, ministers, teachers, legislators.
