THAT is how relevant this text is.I make no promises for future restraint.Side Lysistrata Update: @KhadijaMbowe (we'll get to Lysistrata later, but this was too good not to share now)As usual with CraftLit Texts:• The language is old, complex, and sometimes no-longer-used/offensive terminology (In some cases, she simply wouldn't have had other terms to use that were as precise)• You'll need to let it wash over you - be zen about it - and suddenly you'll realize you understand it all! ——(plus, no one can see how often you have to rewind ;) just sayin'...)• Things I thought you might want to read more about are listed in the Description Box. PLEASE ADD OTHER SOURCES in the comments!• NEW: there are ONLY brief audio notes in this series—98% of my additions have been inserted as text on screen. • This is ONLY being released on YouTube (because of on-screen notes).LINKS:BURKE - "Reflections on the Revolution in France"TALLEYRAND-PÉRIGORD - Rapport sur l'Instruction Publique, les 10, 11 et 19 Septembre 1791PAINE - "Rights of Man"ROUSSEAU - "The Social Contract" • SummaryWOLLSTONECRAFT • none of these do her justice, please comment with better sources!https://bit.ly/Vindication-summaryand the Gutenberg full text: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3420_____CraftLit's SocialsFind everything here: linktr.ee/craftlitchannelJoin the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9Podcast site: http://craftlit.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlitPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlitSpooky Narration: http://chillingtalesfordarknights.com/featured-narrators/heather-ordover/Email: [email protected] and share your thoughts! 1-206-350-1642SUPPORT THE SHOW!PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below)——Walter Hartright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch PartiesAll tiers and benefits are also available asYouTube Channel MembershipsKo-Fi https://ko-fi.com/craftlitNEW at CraftLit.com — Premium SITE Membership https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ (identical to Patreon except more of your support goes to the CraftLit Team)If you want to join us for a particular Book or Watch Party but you don't want to subscribe, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.
