It would be a few years before the feminist ferment would begin to produce a renaissance of luminous and groundbreaking books; and Sexual Politics by #Kate_Millett did change my life. I was one of the ones it was written for, because I had absorbed the writers she exposed, I had believed in them; in the euphoria of finding what I thought were truth-tellers, I had forgotten my father’s warning that some writers lie. But still, one doesn’t know what one doesn’t know, even Mailer, even Albee.

These writers, Stein excepted, did not acknowledge women as other than subhuman monsters of sex and predation; and their prose and chutzpah made me a fellow traveler. All one can do is to fight illegitimate authority, expressed in my world by adults, and find a church. Books were my church but even more my native land, my place of refuge, my DP camp. I was an exile early on, but exile welcomed me; it was where I belonged.
