In following the train of thought some what, how long before we can do a female virtual reality? I have often thought that it would be nice to be able to hook up to a computer and be able to feel and sense like a women. Maybe even go further and be able to have the same thoughs and sensations. Possibly even build a female history in the mind.
Laugh girls, but it hasn't been that long ago that the thought af playing golf or bowling with a computer would have got you locked up on the loney ward. Today you can do it and have all the same sore musles as if you did it for real.
And then my mind wonders to a book I read some time back called Marco Polo. Any of you remember that one? At one point he shared the feelings of a girl he was seeing in that he had the sensation of being pregnat.
Eough of my wonderings.

Just a quick note to add one more book (well, really a series) that is a delightful portrayal of the life of a girl from age eleven onward into adulthood: Anne of Green Gables.
Because of the hoopla surrounding it, I was prepared to find the Anne phenomenon drippy. It's anything but. This ecstatic, idealistic, peppery red-haired orphan is a delight, and one of a kind. (She reminds me of my SO, Alee, and also of me.)
She really does belong on that very short list of books that evoke female life in believable ways that stick to you. And she's often pretty funny, too.
I'm just reading the first book now and intend to go on through at least the next two, Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island, before deciding if I'm enough of an addict to devour them all.
I recommend it.
Love, Robyn Katie

Don't know how I could have forgotten to include this classic! --
"A Young Girl's Diary" with an introduction by Sigmund Freud.
This is an extraordinary interior look at the life of a girl and her friends from ages eleven to fourteen and a half. Vivid, entertaining, and somehow totally refreshing, though it's a century old. There's really nothing else like it anywhere. Freud appreciated it for its psychological insight, but for the rest of us, it's intimate, witty, and sometimes astonishing.
Project Gutenberg has it, and e-copies may also exist elsewhere on the net. It's also perpetually in print, I think.
