I found The Dialectic of Sex in a bookstand in a grocery store and frankly, I think I was in Twin Falls, Idaho then. I bought few new books due to finances but I bought that and read it avidly. Shulamoth Firestone made me a feminist. I was never the theorist that a number of my friends are and were. I kept the faith though, as lazy minded as I am occasionally. I was so young then, so very young. I could not envision a time when Firestone would be dead and I would be alive and vigorous. Mental illness. I am sorry. I have seen it eat into the brains of other friends. I have seen them fight for wholeness and fight to keep the vision of the world they know is right. Bless you for your blog entry.
