More Than Ever: A View From My 70s

"I have lived through a Depression, World War II, a polio epidemic, life in the suburbs, activism, bra burning, a sexual revolution, cancer and widowhood. I have been with women who believed they belonged in the kitchen and women who left their husbands to get out of it. I had a mother who rarely said what she felt because women did not back then, and I determined to be different, and never shut my mouth. In these essays, I am sometimes angry, sad, joyful, excited, sensual, exploring and amazed. Be prepared for honesty and some soul searching. And remember that at my age, I can be even braver than ever before about what I dare to say or even what I dare to do."
