She explores how Orwell's writing on free speech addresses the proliferation of "fake news" and the emergence of cancel culture, highlights his vivid critiques of capitalism and the oppressive nature of the British Empire, and, in contrast, analyzes his failure to understand feminism. 600 10 $a Orwell, George, $d 1903-1950. 600 10 $a Orwell, George, $d 1903-1950 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Orwell, George, $d 1903-1950 $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Truthfulness and falsehood $x Political aspects. 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031824.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95024CEC383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
