    <body><![CDATA[Alright it's not up there with Lord of the Rings, but I really enjoyed If I Pay Thee Not in Gold. It's an original look on sexism. The society is matriarchal instead of patriarchal. Men are either &quot;husbands&quot; (think a male harem) or servants. The heroine must learn that men can enrich her l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45786403">more...</a>]]></body>
