this was awful to read. I'm sure there were some good ideas in there somewhere, but I couldn't get past the too personal narrative. I really don't care who Nancy Friday was as a child. . . anymore than I care about her transformation as a powerful woman. Blaghh. What a waste of ime.

An interesting view of feminism from, not quite my generation, but a half-step or step before. Looks at some of the issues that are still haunting society.
With definitions for women we've left men without roles, these questions are going to have to be answered to heal society.
