As a child, I was mostly aware that Lewis trashed female persons at every turn.
My feminist consciousness seems to have been of an early nature.

Hey Everyone! What do you think about C.S. Lewis's Narnia series. Do you think that children grasp the Christianity aspects, or is it just fantasy to them? As a child, I was focused more on Aslan's majesty than his Christ-like characteristics. Also, Harry Potter is often criticized for its use of sorcery, even though it is not religion based, so why do the magical elements in the Narnia series escape similar criticism. There is tons of magical elements within its pages. Is it just timing and marketing, or is there something else in the style it is written in?
