Aloha! I am a new member to this list, and to ecofeminism in general.
After reading many messages over the last few weeks, I have begun to
question my own beliefs and perceptions as a "young"? woman (almost
twenty-five).
In response to what Barabar wrote, I am wondering if someone can give me
some pointers on where to get more information. I am beginning to
think that I *don't* know what it looks like. Especially in academe.
Is it disadvantageous to think that with hard work, a woman can succeed?

I am pleased to hear that. But it isn't legal in WA where I live. Is it
legal in all states of the US?
