Other critics, with whom I have considerable sympathy, have seen the Chronicles of Narnia as anti-feminist. Pullman, for instance, has called the books "monumentally disparaging of girls and women". In Narnia, girls almost always come second to boys. They have fewer adventures, and none, like Shasta (The Horse and His Boy) or Caspian (Prince Caspian) has a book named after her. There is no such thing as a good and strong supernatural female figure in Narnia: the principal representation of virtuous supernatural power is male, while the principal representation of evil power is the White Witch.

Obviously hasn't read the books. The Star's Daughter is a good and strong supernatural female. Also, how about Aravis Tarkheena for "having adventures"? Or Polly? Or Jill in The Last Battle?

Just another reviewer blowing smoke about books without having read them.

Anyone thinking Lewis is a misogynist should read "Till We Have Faces"

It's from the Guardian, after all, and Lewis was a vociferous Christian (gasp!) and we all know what that means.... That's right: we don't need to read the books to know that they're racist, sexist, and generally double-plus-ungood-ist.
