Le plus pertinent
I read that story to my children many years ago, we enjoyed it and I forgot almost all of it. Listening to it today, I was delighted. This is a simple utopian creation, with some simple and so valuable philosophical comments here and there. It was written in another time, so as a woman I had to, again, reshuffle in my mind the roles distribution. It does not prevent it from being well worth reading today. Also, it makes a lot of technical proposals that can interest the technically leaning.

Not feminist !
