Oh, Julie, would I ever like to know what you make of those books. Heck, I'm curious to see what <i>I'd</i> make of them now. I think my take would be a lot different, and probably kinder. There were some things going on in my own life then that very likely primed me to be pretty damn stabbity. If you're checking out Daly, you might also want to look into Audre Lorde's "Open Letter to Mary Daly" published in <i>Sister Outsider</i>. Heh.

So I looked up Gyn/Ecology and saw that the subtitle was "The Metaethics of Radical Feminism" and started chuckling to myself. Then I saw that one of the Amazon rave reviews started with "Goddess, I loved this book" and started chuckling harder. I think I do have to read it now. Thanks for the elegy.

I'm so nostalgic now, remembering sitting in a corner of the library and going "GRAR GRAR GRAR" at it. Well, maybe more like, "GRAR GRAR whoa trippy GRAR GRAR."

She was quite a character, and had a following all around her when she was out. I got to sit and talk with her, but I was very young, and didn't really know what I was talking about. Didn't become a follower, and haven't re-read Gyn/Ecology in decades. Maybe I'll go look at it tonight. Thanks for posting this.
