part 2: The Feminist Press read-a-thon

I am now reading Amy Scholder's book Icon for the Feminist Press read-a-thon, something I've been looking forward to greatly, and Amy's introduction and the first essay totally knocked me out. Amy Scholder's introduction and her whole idea for a book of writers discussing celebrity is really fascinating. also, since i also grew up in the 70s, her reference points are my reference points.

Lorrie’s Quotes

“Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there.”
― Kurt Cobain
