The new Victorians

Journalist Rene Denfeld explains why her generation has become alienated from the women's movement, maintaining that the actions of the movement's current leadership have actually encouraged a return to the kind of sexual repression and political powerlessness challenged by feminists in the 1970s. Here she offers a practial battle plan which includes confronting the issues of child care and birth control, working for equal government representation, and treating sexual assault as a serious crime.

First sentence: Elizabeth Everman, a slim young woman with the freckled pale skin and blue eyes of a natural redhead, relaxes in one of the worn couches in her living room while her son, age three, sleeps peacefully in the next room.
