2/26/96

In a new interpretation of the works of Dr. Seuss, Religion Professor Naomi Goldberg asserts that Seuss wrote children's books that were cleverly concealed sacred texts "handed down by a supernatural male figure in order to obscure female functions and appropriate them for men." Goldberg also argues that the famous Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat Comes Back concerns menstrual taboos and male dominance.
