SADAN BLEV HON
By Eskil Sundstriim Would there be any sale in England now, one wonders, for a book vehemently attacking and deriding feminism—a ' book expounding, in lively fashion, the thesis that feminism knew how to win its victory but that it has not known how turn_its_ victory to any account ? Such a book, written by a brilliant Stockholm journalist, Mr. Eskil Sundstrom, for many years Press attache at the Swedish Legation. in London, has been attracting wide attention and evoking much discussion in Scandinavia. Mr. Sandstrom has won support from a surprising number of his own countrymen, while the leading Danish. newspaper has devoted five whole columns toil serlOua consideration of his views. The volume is entitled' Sadan Blev hon, which may be translated : " This is what she has come to " The wrapper is decorated with a photograph of a most engaging young person who, whatever she may " have come to engaging in the matter of worldly well- being, seems completely pleased with herself. She does not look as though she would agree with Mr. Sundstrom's con- tentions. The volume is a tantalising one for English readers to glance at in a bookshop, for scores of familiar English names recur in the text. There seems to be hardly a woman in our own public life about whom the author has not provo- cative remarks to make, from Lady Astor and Miss Bondficld to MIS. Wintringham and Mary Wollstonecraft. It is pub- lished by the firm of Bonnier.
