When Inez Garcia, a Chicane woman in Soledad, Calif., shot a man to death 27 minutes after he allegedly held her down during a rape, a smattering of feminists loudly applauded the act. Though troubled by this vigilante version of justice, Feminist Gloria Steinem asked: "But what do we do with our rage...
...academic seriousness. In any case, today 71 colleges-a record-now have women in the president's chair, including Hunter, Wellesley, Goucher and Wheaton.

Here Ephron is obviously trying to underline the difference between herself and Steinem, between two individual women who both consider them selves part of the movement.
