Lipstick On My Colar, a discussion of Susan and Narnia Well huh.
Now to me, and this is just me, when I first read Narnia I was 12-13. Yes I did indeed enjoy the books because the girls actually go to do something. And for me, Susan being kept of Narnia was feministic because if all she cared about was being a stereotypical woman who wants to forever be 20 and think only of her looks and men, well then why bother with her.
Now I do totally understand where everyone else is coming from. My biggest problems with the Narnia books is the hatred of female spiritual power. (Yes, I'm tired of witches being the villains.)
