Description
Shirley Conran discusses her book, “Savages,” that describes five corporate housewives, who get stranded on a tropical island, and must work together in order to survive. These women realize how capable and strong they are, as opposed to simply extensions of their executive husbands. Additionally, she describes how humans resort to homosexuality in times of loneliness and discomfort to facilitate their survival. Ultimately, what keeps these women going is the thought of how they must return to their children.
