I found the essays to be extremely interesting as I wasn't a part of the feminist movement being that I was born in 1967 when the movement was already beginning to take place. Being raised by a feminist-artist, I didn't receive the brain washing that a lot of girls did however our society has influence on us regardless of how we are raised. I found that by reading these essays, I felt like I missed out on the sense of community that evolves from fighting for something one is passionate about as a group. I wish I could find other women to spend time with such as these in her essays.
