How the heck in the n-dimensional universe did I miss this? I need to get on this, STAT!

I read the book a long time ago, but I remember it being about gender in the Victorian era. And math, of course. Am I totally wrong about this?

    I think that when they say “based on the book” they mean “very loosely based and re-interpreted severely”.

    You are right, the whole idea of gender plays a huge role in Flatland.

    Totally true. I couldn’t even get through the movie. Sigh.
