I have been puzzled about how to think about violence that is culturally sanctioned. What to say? My conclusion: violence is a technique for getting and enforcing power. I think if I were teaching now I would somewhere insert that phrase in the teaching dialogue. It is unassailable and general enough to open up much discussion, I should think. Now, I think women working collectively is a good idea, whether politically, socially, or economically. There really is power in numbers. A literacy class would be an ideal place for this to happen, a model for what is possible. Andrea
