THE TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’
It may have begun somewhere in the 1970’s. We were winding down a seemingly endless war in Viet Nam. Women fought for equal rights. Segregation was still an issue. We had a national scandal and saw a president impeached. The comedians of … Continue reading
A WOMAN OF VIRTUE
When the Feminist Movement got underway in the 60’s, women applauded the rights they demanded. They burned their bras in protest. They shed all evidence of the things they felt were binding them or holding them back. Their cry for equality … Continue reading
