The personal is the politcal. Know what it means, where it came from?

3. just read it again, and all I can think of each time I read it is

that Carol Hanisch must be at the very least upset at how the women's movement has turned out.

Women were turned into to super people. Doing all the same shit for men that we have over the years. Plus work a full time job, plus be responsible for the care of the children, still earn less, still not smashing the glass ceiling, etc.

And families needing two incomes instead of one, the men got screwed too. I like how she mentions our capitalistic system.

It would be nice to go back to the roots. But truly, feminism is so splintered right now, around race and religion, I am not having a lot of hope for radical change in my lifetime. I believe her paper touches on that as well. Women do need to relate to other women based on the politics of it all, but much of it is personal. And a lot of it stems from looking inward instead of outward.
