Jessica,
I have also noticed, perhaps you have too, the way in which women who don't
have college degrees, working class, poor, immigrant, disabled and older women
(unless they are some notable personality in the movement) are often left out
of the discussions of feminism as direct speakers, instead of the spoken for
population
The ideology for some, becomes so elitist that to be feminist you have to cite
your university degree, institution affiliation.
Today there was an international women's day luncheon in manhattan - $100 per
ticket. The women unable to, or unwilling to, pay that much held a free
celebration outside. I wonder if the organizers of that luncheon were aware of
the irony to have such an event, priced out of the range of many women.
