Monstrous Regiment

from If We Survive This · host If We Survive This

It's all in the socks! Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett is a classic Discworld novel, exploring gender, societal expectation and... socks? We follow Polly Perks, who cuts her hair, finds a pair of trousers and goes off to war. She's only trying to find her brother, but she finds a lot more along the way. Jen and Ellie discuss the world and dive into theme, satire and the innumerable parallels the book pulls to reality. Upon my oath I am not an argumentative man! ⚔️
