Va-va-varoom!

I have a pretty great partner. Monday, he got me this hard to find Palace record. Tuesday he rented another classic film noir which was the most far-out movie experience I've had in a while. Today, aware of my interest in chronicling feminism, he sent me this piece by Rebecca Walker, estranged daughter of Alice, with the accompanying message: Hi Sweets, here is the article about Alice Walker's daughter that I was mentioning to you....It is sad article overall, but there are some interesting asides about the ideological struggle to keep feminism pure despite real world issues like motherhood, etc. Am I lucky or what? What better than a man who understands the contradictions of feminism?

~ Postscript: On her blog, Walker had link to this piece, which once again demonstrates the contradictions.
