I wrote my final undergraduate thesis on the books and how Marisa Coulter, Lyra, etc. were feminists, used gender roles and their sexuality to get what they wanted, and sexual awakenings/loss of innocence. (I promise I explained it better to people but its been a few months since then). <br />New with me? I just finished my 2nd round of revisions and got my wordcount up to 54,000 words =D (Originally queried at 46,000 - so much improvement) <br />Best!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076907708483883575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169809609802357406.post-39361598430137191252012-06-15T20:04:53.321+01:002012-06-15T20:04:53.321+01:00Thank you, Clara!
