So Orwellian! "It's how the patriarchy creates itself."

"Trump’s Orwellian Erasure of Women" | TIME

"In 'Wifedom: Mrs Orwell’s Invisible Life,' I explore just how a woman so crucial to a man’s life and work can be erased from the story while she is alive, and then, after she dies, from history. 

And I also ask, why is it so important in our culture to disappear women from the story? Turns out, it’s how patriarchy creates itself. Erasing women makes men into the main characters in life and in history, and women into supporting cast, or caste."
