Thanks, Gregory! I also turned the video into one of my first Substack articles. It's an incredible novel. (One of my friends, to whom I recommended it, quit after the first 100 pages. James is not to everyone's taste, perhaps needless to say):
Strindberg, the Swedish playwright, also wrote some anti-feminist stories. 20th century: The World according to Garp is at least critical. Garp even gets murdered by a crazy feminist.
Henry James's The Bostonians, about which Janice has made a video, makes this argument with incredible style.

I have a book of his plays on loan from my local library. Haven't started on them yet.
Not sure if the plays are about it. But I think his Marriage Stories are.
I'm listening to it on audiobook. Just a few chapters left. But it seems the shrew, Olive Chancellor, isn't going to get tamed, just declawed.
