There's a lot to be learned by just listening -- listening, that is, without waiting for a tiny pause in which to inject one's own brillant words. There is even more to be learned from the experience of 'thinking out loud' while being listened to attentively, without the need to react, to entertain or to defend oneself against attack.
Taken from "A Feminist I" by Christine Overall

Certainly. I've always been of the opinion that "Feminist Issues" are "People's Issues" since practically everyone has a mother, sister, wife, or girlfriend affected by the problems faced by women in society.
Moreover, this book tries to give some suggestions to both men and women to improve the very masculine environment of academia.
The only problem is that the book is very dry, and you must wade through the double-speak of an ethics professor.
Hell, I'll even send you my copy when I'm done with it. I only bought it because the libraries didn't have it.
Don't have that book yet, but need it and want it for diss. Must add to Amazon wish list. Thanks for the reminder.
