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.
