I dunno. I lived in Berkeley at the same time as these people and I felt nothing but revulsion for their "women's awareness groups", etc. We shouldn't look back on Ramparts Magazine with any nostalgia. They were partly responsible for the lives of abandon of the "hippie" culture and the "radical left".
What a wasted life this woman led! She had a first rate education, a talented husband, a beautiful child, and she threw it all away. In the end, she is remembered for a stupid article that didn't even represent original thought.
This tribute is an excellent example of the narcissim and navel gazing of the women's movement, the left in general, and from the main stream media to laud this woman's life as a shining example of anything. I can't believe that Horowitz spent so many words on this vapid woman.
Wow honey - don't hold back - you'll explode!
Nice to see you around again.
As you might guess, I have a different opinion. The article shows the failure of the leftist way of life. The point of the story is not that Susan is a hero, but that she's an interesting case study.
