Monstrous Regiment
The thing I liked the most about this book is how it tackled so many of the sterotypes, misconceptions and charachteristics of both genders. On page 267, the quote "Trousers. That's the secret. Trousers and a pair of socks and the world changes. We walk different we act different. I see girls and I think:idiots! Get yourself some trousers" reminds me of an old skit on Saturday Night Live. Eddie Murphy, wanted to experience the world for a day as a white man. Much like the girls in Monstrous Regiment he disgusied himself to be something hes not and the whole world changed for him much as it did for the girls in the book.
I am going to write my paper on Terry Pratchett's commentary on gender, which is rampand throughout the book. There are plenty of valuable jokes and anecdotes I can use at my disposal, I just need to refine it a bit.

I can't believe the new women's uniform is a skirt. It seems very impractical. She even tells the new recruits to pretend they are men so that they will be able to wear trousers. Why does she still have to wear a skirt?
