Which Reminds Me

It might have been Miss Marken, our English teacher in 10th grade, who told us a story about Gloria Steinem, frustrated with not getting the ERA passed, burns parts of her apparel and throws herself into a swimming pool. Some political incident of the 1970s. Well, I cannot insert more nuances into Miss Marken's words than what she herself said, although perhaps her particular brand of sarcasm might fly over the heads of some of these Spanish people.
