1970 N.Y.C.

Lyn's Journal

The "Women's Strike for Equality" march. I taped all the speeches - Kate Millet, Bella Abzug - but nothing came out clear except Betty Friedan saying: "We today...have learned the power of our Sisterhood!" And we did! I'm so glad we made the trip - even though at times I didn't think we were going to make it in Edie's old VW. It was worth risking our lives. I think the only thing that kept that old junkheap moving was Edie singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" at the top of her lungs.

We've been on a high since we got here. Giddy in fact. But I can't wait to get back to L.A. We're going to form a conciousness-raising group just like thousands of women all over the country are doing.
