Abstract
Wise Women Discuss—Plot!
The 36 Tragic Situations
Though women have been starved of creative opportunities over the centuries of patriarchal bullying, they have proved in one important field that they are not creatively inferior to men—in writing. Adelphiasophists are keen that all people should be creative and that their efforts should be appreciated. If you have been intending to start that novel or screenplay but felt short of ideas, here is the Wise Women's synopsis of plot to give you a few ideas. Lightly edited from Polti's original, with Fantasy added as a genre. May the Goddess inspire you. Saviour Shirlie.
