I bought this book back in 1985 and read it avidly and remember wishing I could get it in a tiny format that I could carry in my purse. These days you still can't buy this in Kindle or ebook format so I reread this slowly. I was surprised how little I had underlined in it the first time around. I added a few pencil marks to the copy this time. Bedside book read slowly end to end and enjoyed. It will stay and I will start again.

It's funny how key feminist works and research is so hard to find, if you do ever find it. Shame on publishing houses, who have such a limited and limiting heart. They're missing so much intelligence to allow us move on avoiding all of this violence and injustice!

A very interesting project, compelling and useful. One to which I'm positive I'll refer often.
