Yes, I think you are right. Hissing of Summer Lawns is definitely
Joni's feminist statement, I would certainly agree with that. I
really liked what one poster wrote about the conversation between
Chrissy Hynde and kd lang. By being Chrissy she is ultimately a role
model for women (as Joni is too obviously) but being a feminist means
(to me anyway) that you believe in a political activism to combat
patriarchy. Am I off base here? Teach me friends!
take care, sue
