In 1969, I went to cover an abortion speak out in a church basement in lower Manhattan. This was the first time I heard women telling the truth about their lives. I wrote about this event in my column at New York Magazine as it became a turning point in my consciousness. As I said then, "If the 'consciousness-raising' programs of the Women's Liberation Movement work, they'll see them as rallying points for women qua women. And that might forge the final revolutionary link." Then, like now, we need to form small groups, speak our truth and the revolution will follow.
