Sexism in Narnia? Or Screwtape? Or among the Inklings? Critics have labelled C.S. Lewis a sexist, even a misogynist. Did the life and writing of the hugely popular British author and professor betray attitudes that today are unacceptable, even deplorable? The younger Lewis was criticized for a mysterious living arrangement with a woman, but his later marriage to an American poet, Joy Davidman, became a celebrated love story. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien formed a legendary literary group, the Inklings – but without women. Women and C.S. Lewis features academics and writers who come together to investigate the accusations: Alister McGrath, Randy Alcorn, Monika Hilder, Holly Ordway, Don W. King, Kathy Keller, Colin Duriez, Crystal Hurd, Jeanette Sears, David C. Downing, Michael Ward, Devin Brown, Malcolm Guite, Joy Jordan-Lake, Steven Elmore, Andrew Lazo, Mary Poplin, Christin Ditchfield, Lyle W. Dorsett, Paul McCusker, Crystal Downing, Kasey Macsenti, Brett McCracken, John Stonestreet, Kelly Belmonte, Brad Davis. Women and C.S. Lewis provides broad and satisfying answers. Editors are Carolyn Curtis, veteran journalist and book author; Mary Pomroy Key, Director, C.S. Lewis Study Center, Northfield, Massachusetts. Editorial Reviews “A remarkably fine tribute to C.S. Lewis.” Walter Hooper, C.S. Lewis Estate. “Thanks!

Tolkien, and the Creative Collaboration of the Inklings and The Company They Keep. “Full of shared wisdom and cogent argument that will challenge your perceptions of Lewis and his world.” Brian Sibley, author and broadcaster known for BBC serializations.

Lewis we do not meet “Jack” Lewis the Feminist – there are no attempts to smooth over beliefs unacceptable today. Who we do meet is a Lewis who lived, corresponded, and collaborated with women, valuing, edifying, and enjoying their company. A remarkable melding of quick pace and ample information. If thorough brevity were ever possible in a book, Curtis, Key, and their contributors pull it off.Light: C. S. Lewis's First and Final Short Story (C.S. Lewis and Friends Book)
25 of 25 people found the following review helpful. It was a pleasant suprise to read so much on C.S.Lewis in one book By Razan R A job well done. Having just read this new book on C.S. Lewis I was very pleasantly made aware of the man who influenced a generation for the good. My interest was not only held by the many insights into Lewis' personal life such as his strained relationship with his father as well as the death of his mother at such a young age, his relationship with the much older Mrs. Moore and his all too short lived marriage to Joy, who died much too young, and left a very broken Lewis. You cannot but feel Lewis' love for his wife, and his pain at loosing her to cancer, when you read his poem\epitaph dedicated to her, Joy, at her memorial site in Headington, near Oxford, that Randy Alcorn includes in his section of this book. My interest was also stimulated by the many personal stories and testimonies that the contributing authors shared about their lives that the writings of Lewis' had on them. I also never realized that Lewis' answered the vast amount of letters he received from all who wrote to him, even the children's letters, "WOW". I will be re-reading this book many times in the future to refresh my mind about the life of a man who made a deep impact on his fellow "imago dei" for the kingdom of God. I recommend this book to all.your brother in Christ,Albert R.

I knew he wasn't - and this book is a wonderful read proving that he wasn't By Mark Winter Somehow I missed "The Chronicles of Narnia" when I was a kid. When I was a 30-something seminarian, I was introduced to Aslan and the Pevensie children, and I've gobbled up everything C.S. Lewis since. When I heard about this book, I was intrigued. I knew that a number of modern-day authors, such as J.K. Rowling and Philip Pullman, have branded Lewis a sexist, even a misogynist. In my heart, I knew he wasn't - and this book is a wonderful read proving that he wasn't. It isn't an apologetic per se, but a series of essays by such notables as Randy Alcorn, Dr. Monika B. Hilder and Kathy Keller, who corresponded with Lewis when she was a child. The book is divided into four sections: 1. Lewis, the man - and the women in his life 2. Lewis, the author- how girls and women are portrayed in his novels 3. Lewis the poet - surprises from his poetry and 4. Lewis, the influencer - how his life and literature impact the 21st century discussion about women. So we have a work that covers everything from Lewis' treatment of the opposite sex in his literature to his actual relationships with women. After reading this book, I actually learned that Lewis eschewed the "macho" image of masculinity and, in his letters, consistently praised women, favorably comparing homemakers and working women to soldiers and professors. "Women and C.S. Lewis," is an enjoyable but intriguing tour of Jack's treatment of women. Though it might not convince the skeptics, it should put a chink in their mental armor that Lewis did not treat women well, either in his literature or relationships.
