RE: Puzzles, Bonuses, and Onions in the Thrilling Second Meeting of The Steemit Book Club, Plus Details for Session 3
That Ulysses even hit shelves, could be as elusive as life on earth...... The mob that bankrolled Joyce across WW1 continental war zones, oceans were a bunch of system f#ck you rebel raisers. The went hand over fist to by pass sphincter clinching puritans known as the Society for the Suppression of Vices...who went to great lengths to ensure this "filth" didn't corrupt the public’s mind.
Dora Marsden, was a bad ass suffragette... Winston Churchill who was addressing some mob in Southport England for funding malarky all pomp and wind….. when Winnie declares to the crowd ....it represents the will of the electorate...Dora pipes up from the attic that she had been hiding through the cold wet night to hola out….. "But it does not represent the women, Mr Churchill" ..and was arrested…again……... she later morphed out of straight up activism and started a journal called The Freewoman, which morphed into The Egoist, that...through blood sweat and tears, no iphones or land lines, serially publish Portrait and Ulysses....leading to a change in women's rights and what we consider as Art. ...... reading a book called "The Most Dangerous Book-The Battle For James Joyce's Ulysses" By Kevin Birmingham.....
