MY DEAR, A FEMINIST IS A LADY WHO MAKES THE MISTAKE OF SUPPOSING THAT THE WAR OF THE SEXES IS LOST
Since Adam and Eve men and women have been ensnared by ‘The war of the Sexes’. Socrates had a wife so busy tongued that after listening to her contributions to philophophy he was able to defeat in arguement any man in Greece, a Greece so rich in intellect that no nation has yet surpassed it. It has engrossed dramatist and writers from Aristophanes to James Thurber.
Here Benn Levy takes this basic Universal theme, expresses it in the form of greek mythology, and in the process surprisingly distils an exunberant, sophisticated comedy, in the modern manner.
