A CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING GROUP, LOS ANGELES, 1972
LYN
Sisters! Progress report:
"Boy Scouts of America allow girls into its
Explorer Scouts division!"
EDIE
"Ain't no mountain high enough."
LYN
"Girls are appointed as Senate pages for the first time in
history!"
EDIE
Make that "herstory."
LYN
And oh, is this a breakthrough, or what?
Since 1920, the Big Ten has had only men in their marching
bands during the football season.
This season the University of Minnesota has decided to let
women march with the men during football games.
MARGE
What more could you want? "I am Woman, hear me roar."
LYN
"Oh, thank you, University of Minnesota. Being just a
majorette was sapping my 'woman-strength'"
And, Sisters, I've got a surprise.
Ms. magazine. Premier issue! Look,
I got Gloria Steinem herself to autograph them.
Here's yours, Edie, for you, Marge,
and this one is for
me.
