The third and final sections were for me the most memorable. I found the feminist nature of the writing to be surprisingly refreshing in its poetic nature. Parsons wrote this book in 1946 before the feminist movement of the 1960's; it was if he was predicting the future. The rise of the woman warrior, her fall and subsequent getting back to her feet. He shows no real agenda or bias in his writing other than his heavy feminist leanings which makes this a great piece of work. And it is an even more interesting read if one knows of Parsons background in work and play.
