Super cool read overall!!! would recommend to anyone interested in the transformative power of a group of people with a specific, very impactful experience, organizing on a large scale for the first time
i thought i had read it was by an LPA member, didn’t realize the author was an average size researcher who was allowed to join the organization. there’s definitely parts where i feel like that shows (treating the people being discussed as research subjects more than individuals and some bizarre insensitive comments) and it would have been cool to read a book with the same scope by someone who had the experience being discussed

Really shows how powerful consciousness raising is. Interesting read, wish it was by one of the LPA members instead of an outside observer.
