she is a force like no other! i so admire her character and her heart.
the spirit of the Lord lives within her!
oh, funny that you put her up today--as, i was going to tell you about
the am. anthro assoc. asking her to speak/give a lecture at their conference in nov. in san fransico.
i'll give you the details as soon as i get them. (we are planning on going-not looking forward to the long flight-but the destination will be worth it!)

PVW, March 13, 2008 at 3:07 PM: I think she is truly fantastic! I took my only women's studies' class in college with her, so I am so glad I learned early on that feminism was not about white women. We read her text: All American Women, Lines that Divide, Ties that Bind (1986), a perfect example of the tensions within second wave "white women's" feminism which were to be truly reckoned with in the development of feminism among women of color.

Thanks for posting a message about her.
