I am a little tired of the tired digs at feminists. I am an old
school feminist. As some wit said, "Feminism - the radical
notion that women are people!" I believe in full equality for
women, as I do for all people of all genders. And contrary to
recently stated opinion, the work of NOW is far from over.
Especially now when one of the most rabid anti-abortionists of
all, John Ashcroft, is Attorney General. The work is not over
when ERA has not passed. It is not over when there is unequal
pay for equal work at an equal skill and education level.
