I tend toward exactly the kind of fuzzy deep ecology affinities that would have annoyed her, but I still appreciated her writing very much. I'm very sad to hear that she died.Raimbaut D'Aurengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091183824145716559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564423610152905781.post-11657947250078030412008-03-10T10:33:00.000-04:002008-03-10T10:33:00.000-04:00Thanks for the links!

It's so important, I'm getting quite obsessed with it - we must never forget the women who have struggled and fought before us for rights that we may take for granted now. <BR/><BR/>And we must also never forget that it is not our fault if it does slip out minds from time to time. Patriarchal societies such as ours are *desperate* for us to forget. They go to enormous lengths to stop women talking to each other and organising, they isolate us in our homes with the role of 'wife' or 'mother', they isolate us at work with their sex discrimination and harassment, they isolate us politically by making laws in the interests of men only.<BR/><BR/>And all of this is why we must keep talking (the internet is great for this - here I am in the UK, and there you are in the US, and we are talking! How cool!) and organise and resist with all our strength!<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I've got a real bee in my bonnet about this at the moment! xxDebi Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221534864177544961noreply@blogger.com
