Customer Reviews

Someone wrote to me about my review and an adjustment but it never occurred.

Now, I can say I have every book she published. This was so hard to find and her earliest. 1989 and yellowed, smelly. Set it outside a couple days to help with odor. More like a thesis. RIP Anita...gone too soon.

Surprisingly useful for today's women's groups

This little volume is a surprisingly enjoyable gem, despite its age. It offers many insights for people involved in today's women's groups. Basically, the author talks about the 1970s feminist consciousness raising movement, and how it impacted the lives of those who were involved. The book was written during the 1980s doldrums when women's activism had faded for many. However, individual women were feeling isolated and wishing for a rebirth of female community.Today, the Internet has become the means of communication for developing women's communities that are not limited by geography. This book is a guide to leading a women's group with goals of personal insight and life enhancement. The assumption is that, once we understand ourselves, we can then move outwards and impact the world around us. Good reading.
