Re-Review: The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel
The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was my second “read.” I just listened on Audible. This time, I was less enchanted. I felt it was repetitive, repeating so many stories from the previous books. I wouldn’t say I liked Jondalar and got mad at Ayla several times. And the Zelandoni (I’m not sure how to spell the one that relates to the first one–Audible) didn’t…

For the most part, academic criminologists ignore women while the popular crime writers describe "murderesses" in books with snappy titles like Fatal Femmes and The Deadlier Species. Yet almost anyone who stops to think about it realizes that women's homicides are "different." Unlike men, who are apt to stab a total stranger in a drunken brawl or run amok with a high-powered rifle, we women usually kill our intimates: we kill our children, our husbands, our lovers. This fact is not amusing. But that these homicidal patterns might be shadows of profound cultural deformities and thus worthy of serious consideration—seems not to have occurred to many.
But joking, you will say, is merely a psychological defense against the undeniable fact that people—you and I—are capable of murdering and of being murdered. We laugh because we are afraid. True enough.And this book is mostly about fear: the fears of men who, even as they shape society, are desperately afraid of women, and so have fashioned a world in which women come and go only in certain rooms; and about the fears of those women who, finding the rooms too narrow and the door still locked, lie in wait or set the place afire.
But are such women a fit subject for serious historical (or herstorical) study? Historians often assume that women have not significantly acted, but have been acted upon. Women are history's great blob of putty. So we have books—accurate and valuable books—on how women have been defrauded and oppressed by medicine, psychology, capitalism, the law, the universities, and our own mothers. Other historians, believing that some women did act, and from enlightened self-interest at that, have given us women in the antislavery movement, in the suffrage movement, in the labor movement: women like the Grimkés, Anthony, Cady Stanton, Goldman, Eastman, Mother Jones, who have said and done great things on behalf of themselves and others: Yet our great women are few. This year more women will kill their children than will be appointed to the judicial bench. More women will kill their husbands than will sit in the halls of Congress. A baby girl born tomorrow stands a chance of growing up to stick a kitchen knife into an assaultive husband: but her chances of becoming President are too slim to be statistically significant. The story of women who kill is the story of women.

do you know anything about the event called Michigan Framily Reunion that happens annually on the land? is it basically the surviving offshoot of the womyn's fest? like the same event but less popular and with a different name or what? thank you in advance
Hi! MFR is an event that has herstorically occured in Michigan near-ish the land of Michfest, but not on the same land. It is my understanding that this is because the Land was not immediately available for use to host events post-Michfest. I believe that was due to the process of working out who would be purchasing it, and then that group, WWTLC, figuring out the structure/process for how events would be hosted.
MFR is not occurring in 2024 but is supposed to occur in 2025. The MFR land, which is a pine tree farm, will have a few camping weekends this year (with no programming) just for sisters to gather. I have not attended and have heard mixed things about it. I would definitely categorize it as one of the acorn fests - meaning, an offshoot of Michfest, where the metaphor is MWMF as an oak tree.
If you are looking to go Michigan this summer, the Land that Michfest was most recently held on (carveout cuz Michfest had a different location originally) will have three event weeks this summer. More info on wwtlc.org 🌿🌿🌿
