Bit of a mixed bag, some of which feels quite dated and some of which is as relevant today as it was in 1987.

But anything that sings the praises of Una Marson in its introduction gets a bonus point from me.

A lovely mix of pieces that were fun to read, some were more impactful than others due to the time difference -at least to me- however, definitely worth the read.
