Millenium Hall

I must say that I was disappointed by Sarah Scott’s Millenium Hall, I was expecting a bit more than what the title had put forward. It was most definitely just a description of the Millenium Hall that the main character had visited. There should have been a bit more of a plot, there wasn’t much there to really get into the story. The story itself was very descriptive, I was facinated by the animals that the ladies had kept captive in their own private room.

After the discussions in class, it never occured to me the lesbian reference there could be with all these women living together. It is interesting how such topics arise from something that is more than likely very honest.

At some point I think it would be interesting to be a bluestocking lady, taking the time to sit around with fellow female and discuss everything from literature, politics, to every day events. It ressembles the book clubs that we have today, it is not like the women just merely go there to discuss the book, they partake in some form of gossip.
