Everything that can be said about A Doll's House has been said, and I won't go into depth of it. Except to say that never have feminism been more important than today. No, not feminism, equalism. Everybody deserves equal rights, then and now. It's such an important piece of norwegian litterature, an...

Deserves its title as one of the foundational, most influential international works on women's rights and feminism. Henrik Ibsen, like Gustave Flaubert and Kate Chopin, got it. Ibsen's Nora, Flaubert's Madame Bovary, and Chopin's Edna are all the same figure: everywoman, oppressed.

It's been a long while since I've read any Ibsen (and Hedda Gabler was the work of choice in the drama classes I took.)It's hard to review plays - I read quickly, but I purposely try to stretch books over multiple days so that they have time to sink into my long-term memory. I read this at a gulp. A...
