I read the Germany translation though.

This was really a fun read. I have seldomly heard someone write with such enthusiasm and verve about the topic of capitalism. Lafargue really delivers an entertaining, informative and enticing satire of the industrialization in Europe at the end of the 19th century. This should be a mandatory read at every school.

Was a bit underwhelmed. Much talking about the problem with patriarchy and how men suffer from it as well. On the last pages she finally got a bit to some practical advice and examples and how the needed change can be brought about.
