#7 FEMINIST CLASS STRUGGLE;
There are about as many classes of women as there are women. They come in all shapes, colors and sizes. The class division of women has been a problem in the feminist movement from the beginning. The women of color and the working down to the poor women are not recipients of the benefits of the movement, at least when the benefits first were achieved. It took much more hard bargining and work to gain the same for all the other classes, esp. those of color. I found the article to be a sad commentary on the women of the movement and found that the sisterhood divisions were caused by the selfishness of the rich white women, who were afraid of upsetting the men in their lives. Freedom should be the right of all even the detested DOMINATE MALE.
#16 TOTAL BLISS; The message here seems to be that all women from straight to gay are the same when it comes to achieving the equalitiy rights of the Feminist Movement. Hook made it very clear the role that lesbianism has and does play in the movement. It was good to read a writing about lesvianism that was told about the human side of these women and should how they live their day to day lives fighting the same battle as the straight women in our society. They also have to endure the prejudice of being different from the "norm". A Good reading.
