This thread is getting a bit like the mouse's tail in Alice in Wonderland! I just wanted to say to Beck (and Anne) that of course feminism has its place in modern student and adult teaching. Any 'resentment' that exists may well be justified in the light of social treatment of women in various societies. All I would ask is PLEASE leave Arthur Ransome out of all this! He wrote wonderful stories, which have a profound and delicate charm. Please don't stifle this magic for us by sticking labels on it!
(Incidentally, shortly after the Hunts' article appeared in MM, I received a letter from a Midland Region member in answer to a Signals survey. Citing that article he said 'It almost made me resign. Is there nowhere we can get away from all this?' I agree entirely.)
