| Description: |
Why should Truth be a woman? Or Nature? Or Justice? Or Liberty? Not, certainly, because women have been more free, just, truthful, nor even (though this one has a double edge) more natural. The author sets out to breathe some life into the army of petrified personages that litters western cityscapes. |
