The women’s movement has never demanded too much; too often, alas, it has settled for much too little, too late. In no society on Earth are women fully equal; there is not one in which any of us, woman or man, is truly free. Many of the early surrealist slogans — such as “Open the Prisons!” and “Disband the Army!” — seem to me to be just what the women’s movement needs today. And beyond all slogans, isn’t it obvious that nothing less than our wildest dreams will enable women to rise from the depressing military-industrial depths of the current political impasse?

Chicago, January 1997
