Jerry is right: something has changed. Neoloberalism (the process that
became neoliberalism) stopped a movement, but not simply the "women's
movement". Women were strong because we all together were fighting against
imperialism, authoritarism, prevarication, injustice, insomma, against
*power* in all its forms. Our "compagni" (almost all the youth of that
generation) had to face their's own contradictions. After, most of them
found easyer to forget it, and to live with their privileges.

Amancipation of women is a problem of liberation (WE all).
