I just read the article and your blog. It all seems very exciting and daunting at the same time. The project does make me wonder about many things including the word “feminist” as key to your interviews. It seems like it immediately adds a level of sophistication that some women you speak to might not have, but who are non-the-less genuine “feminists”. There will be so many shades of the word which I imagine you will encounter that it will be interesting to see how you and Nona put it all together at the end…but I know that is what your journey is about. Also I wonder how young men feel about the word, about being feminists themselves and how it affects their lives. Because if a generation of younger men are not feminists at this point, I know that we must have failed in at least part (probably a good part) of our attempt to teach feminism. joan snyder
