![]() ![]() Never in my life, had I read an author who so completely captured my own mother's struggle between being an ambitious woman with a powerful intellect, trapped in the nightmare of 1970s workplace sexism. Her writing was a real turn on, she is not a slave to the soundbite. and really explore the tensions between generations, and genders, races, and religions, and make it all make sense. Here was an author who had the presence of mind, the ability to take a long view back into contemporary Feminist history in the U.S. Little did I know that there was something better. The idea of recreating a new mythos was attractive to me, but sometimes, it seemed that notion was taken in some weird directions. And while some explorations of how we view history were well worth the read, some of it was clearly just re-imagined, even if it was packaged as something more. I felt like these later manifestations ignored motherhood and pregnancy. Oh some of it was alright, bit it seemed to miss some major points. ![]() ![]() Full of impractical ideas, and junk history. It seemed to be going through some supernaturally long, bad hair day. I had been turned off by the manifestations of feminism for a while. ![]()
