Dude, I'm the best feminist ever.
Let's do Sula.

FFFFUUUUU!!!! I haven't read that one! I only read Bluest Eye and Beloved. But if anyone else did, go ahead, I'll be the unbiased judge/commentator.
And I don't think of myself as a feminist. Just a girl who will punch out a guy if he ever tells me to go to a kitchen.

You're a feminist if you believe men and women should have equal rights.  And I haven't read Bluest Eye, and I barely paid attention to Beloved. |

This is turning out to be more difficult than I thought.

Also that's what everyone should believe, not just feminists.

We can't even agree on a work to use as a control group hahaha. Isn't the whole point that we can't have only one work as a control group? Huck Finn for one, sure, and Vagina Monologues, and "Theme for English B," and what, 1984? And something old. Beowulf? Oh, but these are all pretty much canon, whether well-centered or borderline. Give me something trashy... |

I thought "classics" referred to pre-Renaissance Greek and Roman writers: Homer, Virgil, etc.

How about you choose something from each major "period"? Early Middle Ages, Late Middle Ages, Renaissance, Restoration, Victorian, Modern, Post-Modern.
I probably missed an era or two there.

What about Black Hole!? It's a graphic novel and it's got just about everything, and it made me want to stab my eyes out! cyanea: in literature, classics don't necessarily mean Greek or Roman. Just think Barnes and Noble classics. |

I thought "classics" referred to pre-Renaissance Greek and Roman writers: Homer, Virgil, etc. Ovid's Art of Love: classic and trashy! Love it. Adding it to the list. But we need something trashy in that it's horrible, not trashy in that it's about sex and picking up girls at chariot races. |

Also that's what everyone should believe, not just feminists. Which is why everyone should be a feminist. And what's in our control group now? Huck Finn, Vagina Monologues, Theme for English B... |
