I LOVE NEIL GAIMAN. That said, Norse Mythology is especially magical. Comedy and despair, schemes and triumphs, crossdressing gods and treasures invaluable! Read this aloud to better taste the Germanic thrum of Gaiman's deceptively simple prose.

So! Good! This is not necessarily a 101 introduction to feminism, as one needs a solid foundation from which to aproach this text, but I love the ambiguity Valenti introduces. Touching, terrifying, soothing.
