And that voice was yelling loud and brazen in raucous rebellion against all that 'femininity' had once connoted. The Feminist anger, for many, was the single most powerful emotion in their lives.

The very real events which quickened the anger of students--most notably the war in Indochina--are purposely forgotten by the technicolor pictures, the catchy, cute Timese, the mock attempt to mix levity and analysis.
