i find it so difficult to reconcile the willful and hateful ignorance prevalent throughout this book with the progressive views on gender that mitchell clearly has, as well as her compelling narrative and nuanced characters. her understanding that the old south was an “antiquated” feudal system is clear, and it’s so hard to see her not make the logical step that white supremacy is a tool to uphold that system.
