All women are natural anarchists,I consider myself to be a sloppy feminist.
I was really into Warhol and pop art, and I thought the next step was to,actually be working within popular culture.
when my family headed out west, like any birth canal Rochester was forgotten.
I remember how the book talked about the pressure to please and be perfect that every woman falls into and then projects onto her daughter. Nothing is ever good enough. No woman can ever outrun what she has to do. No one can be all things - a mother, a good partner, a lover, as well as a competitor in the workplace.
