The Canon by Paper Cranium

June 9th, 2008 5:53 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Make an improvement/amendment to a canon.

-or-

Make an improvement/amendment to a cannon.

My Suggestion:

Remove A Room of One's Own from the canon of feminist literature. It is boring, and nobody gives a fork about Oxbridge.

Instead, as a more illuminating cautionary tale about the pitfalls of patriarchy, read aloud as a group Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, replacing every instance of the word “wand” with “wang.”

For those who would like to support this cause, I created a clever little graphic that can be spammed to everyone and his mom. Unfortunately, even my brilliant artistic skills do not do justice to the massive impact such an alteration in the canon would have on feminist thought everywhere.

I concur. Quit suggesting, and start doing!
