Getting your name in the paper was “personal publicity” that made you a “star,” guilty of the sin of personal ambition. Verbal fluency and confidence were defined as the “advantages of class privilege.” Writing for a mainstream publication, even putting your full name on your work in a countercultural paper, was castigated as “ripping off the movement’s ideas.”
This is not quite competition or rivalry but its the common criticism, sour grape, towards someone we might not even know, to try and lower the value of her achievements, why?
