"In the United States, there is a feminst establishment, twenty years in the making, media-created and media-controlled, that is fairly corrupt, bought out by the privilege of its own prominence. There is also a grassroots feminism in every nook and cranny of this vast and diverse country with its complex physical and ethnic geography. This grassroots feminism is strong, brave, militant, enduring, creative, economically impoverished, and socially dispossessed. At this point in time, this is the feminism of moral and political significant out of which comes action, truth and hope."
