![]() ![]() It made me really focus on what I needed to read, even if I skipped whole chapters. At times I skipped portions of pages, but the third person style is refreshing. Whole chapters are sometimes devoted to descriptions, rhetorical, and sarcasm. Vivid descriptions are constantly used, which does get tedious to read. The author paints the story in the third person. By always moving around Sissy has avoided the problems of the world, which eventually provides her with a useful outlook from the outside that proves to be useful. By magic, she means what makes her enlightened. Her thumbs are the source of her power, her magic. Her thumbs attract the eyesight of every passerby, but Sissy does not mind. She has two, large, overgrown thumbs that look more like plump digits than a thumb. ![]() What makes her endeavor so successful as a woman, is what every hitchhiker needs: the thumbs. Unlike others, Sissy hitchhikes to move, not setting her sights on a certain destination. ![]() Sissy is a hitchhiker, just barely beating out the beatnik era. Our protagonist, Sissy Hankshaw, is in her own world, separate from the problems around her, but still finds herself in the middle of it all. Woman can vote, talk, own property, but they still are not the same as a man. Even Cowgirls Get The Blues, by Tom Robinson, is set in a time of an upcoming gender revolution. ![]()
