Why Gandalf Never Married by Terry Pratchett

thelspace:

This talk was given in 1985, after Colour of Magic was printed but before The Light Fantastic and Equal Rites.

It’s about the differences between the ways men and women of magic are portrayed in fantasy lit and it’s, of course, great because it’s Terry Pratchett speaking.
