I had a terrible time with feminists in the Seventies. They hated me, those women. I think they hated everything.

I still consider myself a feminist.

I consider myself a feminist living in a post-feminist era.

Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women's movement of the late 1960s and '70s.

I've always been interested in the history of radical feminism - what happened to those women of the 1960s and '70s.

Well, you know, I was raised by a 1970s feminist. My mom had a consciousness-raising group. I used to sit at the top of the stairs and listen to them.

I still try to be a feminist in some tiny way.

The first big impact that feminism in the 1960s and '70s had was a big divorce boom in the '70s and '80s. That, in part, had an impact on how the children of that divorce boom viewed marriage.

In the late sixties, when revolution and upheaval were everywhere, feminists were ridiculed for focusing on housework.
