"The Little Review, June 1914 (Vol. 1, No. 4)" by Various is a literary magazine published in the early 20th century. This edition features a diverse collection of essays, poems, and critiques that explore contemporary issues in literature, art, and culture. Central themes include discussions on femininity, modernity, and the evolving artistic movements such as Futurism, reflecting the cultural tensions and artistic aspirations of the time. At the start of the magazine, the editor, Margaret C. Anderson, presents her argument against the notion that American women are oversexed, asserting instead that they are undersexed and undersensitive. She contends that society's attitudes towards sexuality and femininity stifle emotional depth and creativity. Anderson critiques the prevailing views on women's roles in both personal and artistic contexts, arguing for a re-evaluation of the relationship between sex, art, and emotional expression. This opening portion sets the tone for an in-depth exploration of various articles and poems that follow, addressing the societal and artistic issues of the period.
