The Chronicles of Narnia: Battles Are Ugly When Women Fight


Listen Later

As we wrap up our final Narnia episode we're asking the big questions: Was C. S. Lewis sexist? Or can we draw any feminist or female-empowerment messages from his work? What does feminism even look like in the context of a fantasy world where children go into battle with talking animals?

We also look specifically at The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe as a World War 2 story, exploring the story an as allegory for what was happening in the "real" world at the time it takes place.

And of course we took a quiz to find out which Pevensie kids we are, and you can take it here.

Check out The Feminine Ethos in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia by Monika Hilder.
