Your fleshing out of two important streams of breakthroughs and backlashes is strangely devoid of the third stream, women’s rights.

Perhaps the white robed suffragettes, and their millennia long quiet-the-way-women-are-supposed-to-behave slog to equality doesn’t register on your seismograph but trust me, women gaining the right to have a legal say in their destinies, whether through voting or contraception, is at least as consiquential as the other two streams you delve into.

I respectfully ask that you consider expanding your thinking and postings to include the third stream; Women’s Independence. Thank you. (Contact Dr Riane Eisler for assistance, she can upgrade your seismograph.)

Thank you. This is very educational and brings a lot of the history I’ve been aware of together with the underlying white supremacist convictions that I didn’t realize still ran so deep in our culture. And so much more. I appreciate your references so that I can further my education and understanding of how we got here. And your suggestions of how we must endeavor to fight now are much appreciated too.
