This is a sassy women. And I like it of course. Not because I have personal issues with chauvinists, but because Magdalia has done her research and is smart, not just stuck up. Magdalia makes many wise observations about women and their role in the home, but also wise women outside her cultural sphere. She shows that she has a larger perspective of religious culture as well and how it has declined. I love her monologue on page 31 about the women of the world, and then she ends with "I feel like laughing even now." Yes, she is terse, but deservingly so.
I like this praise of Magdalia. I appreciate her fierce independence too, and she is very clearly a learned woman.
ReplyDeleteLove the scoreboard. Also, I have to agree that her knowledge is her strength. It is the strength that sets her apart from men and other women who have not put forth the effort she has into learning.
