    Interestingly, Don Quixote - very feminist. Cervantes clearly believed women should be able to decide for themselves.

      Cervantes also handled a fake sequel to Don Quixote better than any author ever has or ever will.

      A fake Part II was released so Cervantes stole part of the plot and includes it in his own Part II which is broadly considered one of the best sequels of all time (to be clear that’s almost always included in the modern form of the novel)

        Not just that, in his second part Don Quixote reads the fake sequel and shits all over it criticizing bad language and factual errors.
