I do hope you realize I am not just spending time with it. In these days when nearly every news story breaks my heart open, I'm trying to comprehend how we got here. Your research shares some important groundwork for that. Now on my way to a protest...
Ohmygoddess. I am 75, second wave feminist, mother of daughters and granddaughters. This is so excellent, it reminds me of discovering Brownmiller, Rich, Dworkin, all of my first saviors. Am sharing your soul with everyone i know who will carry you on to others. Thank you. You give me hope.
When I saw that, and then saw the evidence of her erasure through the popularity of the revised texts—blood boiling for sure! I so appreciate you spending your time here with my words and these women 💜
This will stay with me every time I see a celebration (widespread) about the birth of a white child. Thank you for carrying this important story to us.
