So after reading The Day of the Triffids, I wanted to read more of John Wyndham's works, mostly out of curiosity. Since he is a product of his times, his portrayal of women isn't . . . great, but it's not offensive either. Some stories I found not so great, but I did enjoy quite a few of the stories, particularly the flea tamer haha, and I could see how a lot of the themes and tropes he worked on have evolved over the years, which is fun to see! In all, it was interesting to see how SFF has changed and yet not changed much since the 50's and 60's.
