„The Stepford Wives“ von Ira Levin erschien 1972. Damit fiel die Veröffentlichung zufällig (?) in das Jahr, in dem das Equal Rights Amendment vom US-Senat angenommen wurde. Dieser Verfassungszusatz sollte die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter in den USA vorantreiben und Frauen weitreichende Rechte zus...
I’ve always had a soft spot for Ira Levin and saw this book on a list when I was looking for something to fill the terror in a small town square. I haven’t seen the film and came to it as unspoilt as is possible with such an iconic story. The story follows Joanna, who’s just moved to Stepford with...
