![]() ![]() ![]() To wit: a book ABOUT women WRITTEN by a woman which they chose to have narrated by a trans woman simply because she is famous and presumably would attract the LGTBQ crowd and also, YET AGAIN, deliver the message that trans women are "real" women and just as deserving and in fact MORE deserving than non-trans women to have honours (such as narrating an anniversary edition of a famous women's novel) heaped upon them. Which leads me to my following point, about messages to deliver: Audible should not be a political platform on which to deliver politically driven messages. Great literature, this is not, but it is a great read and it does have a message to deliver. I followed it up with the movie, another great classic, and felt like I'd taken part in something that formed 20th century pop culture. It was high camp and it was a lot of fun to read. ![]() I knew then it had been a huge classic for a long time already. I read this novel in my 20s which was sometime in the 1990s. ![]()
