Putting words to my thoughts

[frualeydis]

An excellent article about the new vampire books, women and feminism. I have longed to have the energy to write about this, though I also wanted to link it to the romantic era with it's backlash for women (compared to the Enlightenment), it's demonic lovers, obsession with purity and abstinence and the same female submission as you see in these new vampire books. Scary stuff.

Oh, and Edward Cullen is a seriously creepy guy.

Eva, please write that article of yours! I think the link you draw is most interesting. And I'm also so fed up with the submissive and decorative women view these days, I need to read something else, something sharp, something, balanced.
