The quote Ella shared with us from Prince Caspian made me wonder as to Lewis true position on gender eqality. Though that quote was, I'm sure, meant to do nothing more than illustrate the eternal good-hearted animosity that exists between all boys and girls, especailly if they are siblings. However, it does seem to me that Lewis' later works, especailly Till We Have Faces, display a distinct trend of if not agreement, at least sympathy towards women's cramped situation in society. Perhaps his friendship with and marraige to Joy Davidman played a part in this. What do you guys think?
