When a female person interacts with sensitivity and artistry towards nature, especially if she happens to be quite young and pretty, she is likely to be regarded as a fairy or angel or virgin saint, especially if she is not overtly political and/or sexualised.

If a female person is scholarly and relatively pretty or even remarkably beautiful, she is likely to be regarded as wasting her life and/or threatening by the established order. 

If she is quite ordinary looking, or even regarded as unattractive, she is likely to be ridiculed within the established order, regardless of her qualities, her sensitivity, her artistry, her intellectual attributes and her kindness.

If an intelligent female person protests reasonably and responsibly against hypocrisy and other injustices, she is likely to be regarded as crazy and possibly even as the offspring of evil parents. 

If a female person is viewed as a goddess as a consequence of her physical attractiveness, she is subsequently likely to be regarded as a witch if she rejects sexual advances.  

If a female person, regardless of her physical features, is viewed as a threat to corrupt (male) power, she is likely to be regarded as a witch.

You are currently experiencing the magical library in Frugality Cottage, of course.  The cottage is often regarded as a mysterious place though it has no connection with Pompeii.

As you are reading the only existing copy of this grimoire, please note that it is securely chained to the bookshelf.
