Yes, there was something humorous about the way Miss Marken, our 10th grade English teacher, would sometimes begin class with a short bit of chatter about recent news events, and one day she was talking about the feminist NOW organization and some odd events relating to Gloria Steinem, Gloria's discarded apparel burning and her leap into a swimming pool. Hmm.m.... Yes, those activists are crazy sometime, certainly not us.
Which has nothing whatever to do with something my mother said about wonen's rights. We don't give much thought to the Gloria Steinem brand of feminism. I really don't see the connection.
