• The system - the American one, at least - is a vast and noble experiment. It has been polestar and exemplar for other nations. But from kindergarten until she graduates from college the girl is treated in it exactly like her brothers. She studies the same subjects, becomes proficient at the same sports.

But Utopia was never meant to exist on this disheveled planet.

But the scenes don't feel pulpy.
