| Jan 26, 2018 at 5:39 | comment | added | morewry | "If This Goes On--" was always one of my favorites. Nice balanced take! There IS a sameness about many of Heinlein's feminine characters--but it's also true of his masculine characters. I think maybe his style was more "tell" than "show," so even though Friday and Janet are different, they end up having a similar feel. Even given that (and character types he repeated), he didn't show any identity only one way (that I recall). | |
