Today is bloomsday, the day Ulysses by James Joyce took place on (and the day of Joyce's first date with his wife.. in which she gave him a killer handjob and swooned him according to the erotica letters they sent back and forth)
Whether or not you care about Ulysses as a work of art it shouldn't be forgotten that many feminists, anarchists, lawyers and artists fought to make it legal to publish Ulysses and it paved the way to modern society's relative freedom of expression.
