Stung with Love

Julia Rutgers

[...] double consciousness develops naturally in women in a male-prominent society, who are 'like a linguistic minority in a culture whose public actions are all conducted in the majority language. To participate even passively in the public arena the minority must be bilingual; the majority feels no such need to learn the minority's language.'

Rose Stanley

The only thing to dislike about this is that we have so little of Sappho's poetry. Booooo.
Best read out loud.
