Consciousness raising
I love hearing people, especially women, who live thoughtful lives. It's good to hear how clearly they perceive their lives. I'm sorry, 30+ years after the 2nd wave of feminism and "Gay" rights, to know we must continue to struggle with definitions of what should just be natural self expressions, accepted by the communities in which we live. You must be a good interviewer, because these women spoke to you with such intimacy and immediacy. It felt good to walk in to their experiences. Good music choices.
