A MISOGYNIST’S SOURCE BOOK
An infuriating anthology of quotations against women.From Buddha to the Beatles from the Code of the Hammurabi to Hitler, from The Bible to The Sun, there are quotes on every aspect of femininity. Fidelis has played the authors against one another, finding unlikely neighbours as well as contributing an inspired introduction discussing the whole subject of Misogyny in Life and Art.
In compiling A Misogynist’s Source Book, Fidelis Morgan wafts a welcome breeze of comic dismay through the complacency of feminist and misogynist alike. City Limits An absorbing and fascinating work. Cosmopolitan This splendid and depressing anthology. David Profumo – Literary Review It is wincingly compelling. A salutary must for the bathroom bookshelf, that repository of tomes worthy of regular pondering. Jonathon Green – Books
