Dear Voice,
Several women at the Women's Liberation Conference in Chicago over
the Thanksgiving holiday expressed an interest in a book called "Mothers
and Amazons" written by Helen Diner This s book has been for me a
starting point into a completely new understanding of female cultural history
I was stimulated by the insights and relevency of the book to the WLM because
it pointed in several unexpected directions which furthered my research
studies on Women and Myth,
Sister.

Sister
A
group of (so far) about ten women has begun meeting in S F --started
originally
for women around resistance and facing the situation of their husbands/lovers
going to jail-But although we have only met twice, we've gone far beyond
talking about "what we do for X number of years while cur men
are in. jail, " Women are desperate to talk and to work things
out, or at least to try to begin working things out and both times
we have talked for like six hours And good discussions both in terms
of what was said and also how we say things-Good things, and honest,
and not playing games of who can say the most radical thing or who
can talk the most We worry about having everyone speak and not having
a few people monopolize the time, but so far that hasn't seemed to
be a real problem, both because we're trying to be considerate, and
because everyone has so much to say. Will keep you posted.
