good points. for me the biggest changes for women are that there are more of them and they want to be paid for their work. i think that as a class we are still oppressed- even those women who consider themselves feminist in that they define themselves so narrowly or maybe it just seems that way-because sex is just one way of expressing our corpuscles! just think that we have devised new forms of slavery in lieu of the old ways and call ourselves free in order to sound progressive.

Well, I think women wanted to be paid for their work in Held's heyday -- just 20 years ago.
I'd agree with the notion of "devis[ing] new forms of slavery in lieu of the old ways and call ourselves free in order to sound progressive" -- a problematic that keeps on popping up over and over again throughout the history of social change and efforts at "progress".
