For my final thesis, for once, I only wrote about the rejection of tradition and the embracing of rationalism in Herland, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. You can read the story here, and my analysis of the story here. You can also find the analysis of A princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs here. For my final thesis, read on.
Tales and yarns are but an extension of our world. They are an escape from reality, and symbolise our fears and hopes. We pour ourselves into the stories we tell and write, and it is through stories we often speak to others. This blog is a celebration of all stories that I have the fortune to cross, and a bit of obsessive analysis of my own self through these tales. These pages also serve as a writing pad for my own musings - poems, short stories, and the like.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman: Herland
This post summarizes and analyses, hopefully in some depth, perhaps one of the earliest Feminist Utopia based stories in the science fiction genre: Herland. It has been an engrossing read, and though there is a summary below, I would still recommend that you guys do read the actual story. And on we go.

Tale Share: The Etymology of Chivalry
This is an essay that won a national prize, so I am wondering exactly what the system of government in their country would be. My view do not match with those of the author of the following essay. In fact I disagree vehemently. Character should, and must not be attributed where it is not deserved. The only reason I am sharing this is because I have not seen so many sexist ideologies existing simultaneously in one article.
