"Women who read are dangerous"
Stefan Bollmann and Elke Heidenreich
foreword by Daria Bignardi
2007
The first "review" of my blog is absolutely intentional.
Because this is the last book I read (although it would be truer to say that I finished first among those I'm reading ...)
Why just from reading this original essay I jumped up with the idea of a blog about the books (perhaps digress here and there).
Because I thought it was time to leave the notebook where I kept so far the reviews have already done and add to my "collection" but making it evolve.
Why, above all, I said to myself: what better argument could open a reader's blog, if not women, reading and the danger of the first acquired as a result of the second?!
Women have started to read from time to time and in secret.
Occasionally we read in the few spare moments between a domestic affair and the other in secret, their fathers and their husbands, because reading was not considered a 'work for them.
fact, when readers were first discovered, many men have the hairs stand up on his head, many others are now white and some of them lost everything.
Women who read are immoral, because they go against the conventions of time and are more dangerous to themselves and others! And then, what they read? And why? They already have so many beautiful harmless pastimes, why should they even get to read? Who knows what will be their strange ideas in mind ...
Yet, on closer inspection, many of those first readers "to sfrodo" were aware of their dangers and revolutionary nature?
Very few I think.
Reading women (beyond the ability to read real own) comes first and foremost as entertainment, intimate and private, from work every day (but dangerous precisely because of that, what can not combine a woman in control but rather left alone with a book in his hand?), an entertainment than the usual gossip exchanged at the hour of tea, or while mending or knitting together, and only after, and only for some, become an instrument of learning and therefore emancipation.
Women who read are dangerous but also have always fascinated painters and artists in general.
I have already defined "Women who read are dangerous" an original essay, in fact test it but it is a "wise illustrations, images, reading the women through the ages.
delight the eye with beautiful images of women reading, to name a few: it is intimate and bright (like many of the few paintings by this author) the portrait "Woman Reading a Letter" by Jan Veermer; charming "Girl that reads " Fragonard, sunny family and" The Rose Garden "by Krøier, modern and carefree " Lee Miller and Tanja Ramm, photo taken by the father of famous photographer, also an amateur photographer.
delight to read through the articles of the two authors (one of the most unconventional Elke Heidenreich, much more historical than Stefan Bollmann) irony foreword by Daria Bignardi (reader declared "Saving Silverman" before being a journalist).
READ: for women is to be read on public transport, so all you have to wonder what ever so dangerous, even for men so that everyone thinks "good, prevention is important"
