Read with us! Sappho + Wonder Woman with Saria Saguaro
SUFFERING SAPPHO! Elder Sister
Saria Saguaro will be guide to a comparative reading of the poems and fragments of Greek poetess Sappho and the adventures of Wonder Woman.
"Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world. There isn't enough love in the male organism to run this planet peacefully. Woman's body contains twice as many love generating organs and endocrine mechanisms as the male. What the woman lacks is the dominance or self assertive power to put over and enforce her love desires. I have given Wonder Woman this dominant force but have kept her loving, tender, maternal and feminine in every other way. Her bracelets, with which she repels bullets and other murderous weapons, represent the Amazon Princess' submission to Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty. Her magic lasso, which compels anyone bound by it to obey Wonder Woman and which was given to her by Aphrodite herself, represents woman's love charm and allure by which she compels men and women to do her bidding." - William Moulton Marston
The Goethe-Institut Bangladesh in partnership with HerStory Foundation will host the event on ZOOM platform.The reading is in Bangla and free and open to all upon registration in
