...steamed the placenta with some herbs, the kitchen got that ironlike smell of cooked organ meat, with vague undertones of a consciousness-raising group and a Betty Friedan rally. Sara said Cassandra had a particularly robust placenta, and she hoped to get 120 pills out of it. As she sliced the cooked organ and put it on parchment paper in a dehydrator, she told me that some people drink the placenta raw as a smoothie. "I do this for a living, and I couldn't do that," she said. The pills, she explained, were superior, since Cassandra could stretch their...
Perhaps I was lucky in that I started out post-graduate life free of a clear path. I graduated from college in 1963, the year that Betty Friedan fired the shot heard around the world and ignited the Feminist Movement—at least in my white, middle class, college-educated world.

Friedan and Gloria N. Steinem, the founders of the National Organization for Women. She argued that Bernard Nathanson and Larry Lader convinced Friedan and Steinmen to take up their pro-choice cause. Jeremiah D. Braunlin—who recently graduated from the Harvard Extension School—said he thought that...
...issue of class differences between women and racial differences. At this point this was really quite an important band of women in America, but not necessarily representative of all women's concerns. Then, of course, I raised the issue of gay women. That was all it took. [Betty Friedan] got rid of me in a hurry...
