Well, Bee, one more miracle and you're eligible for Sainthood--I love that story even more than the other.

Revolutionary movements require two very different types of activity-first, the vision must be expressed, clearly, directly, and believably. Second, the people must be organized and directed in a way that they can realize the vision. Very few people are good at both--

I doubt very much that Shulie Firestone was Godzilla, or anything other than the person that you've described here--a thoughtful speculative philosopher who, by the force of her own vision, was thrust into a position of having to organize a lot of very angry women, and at the same time to stand against a lot of angry men. Not many could deal with that situation very well.

In a way, she reminds me of Grace Metalious--in that her writing made her both famous and reviled in a way that she never could have been anticipated, and was never prepared to deal with.
