![]() ![]() It is tempting to search for a leader’s ideological awakening, but the moment of recognition, even when it is distinct, is primed by the accumulated heap of moments before. ‘Boy oh boy, guess she told you!’ said one, and tweaked my tail as I walked away.” By then, it seems safe to say, Steinem’s feminist wheels were in motion. The exposé she published was hilarious and scathing: “’Please, sir,’ I said, and uttered the ritual sentence we had learned from the Bunny Father lecture: ‘You are not allowed to touch the Bunnies.’ His companions laughed and laughed. ![]() ![]() “Well, Gloria is this year’s pretty girl.” In 1963, a 29-year-old Steinem put her “pretty girl” status to clever use, going undercover as a Playboy bunny in New York’s Playboy club. What makes someone into a feminist in an age bereft of them? The come-to-consciousness moment might have happened in her student days-for instance, when she asked an admissions officer why her class didn’t have any black girls and he responded, “We have to be very careful about educating Negro girls because there aren’t enough educated Negro men to go around.” It might have come later when she was trying to make it as a journalist in New York: “You know how every year, there’s a pretty girl who comes to New York and pretends to be a writer?” she heard a colleague remark, as though she wasn’t there. ![]() When Steinem graduated from college in 1956, “feminism” in America mainly referred to the finite struggle of 19th and early 20th century suffragettes to secure the vote, a movement that was by then triumphant and defunct. ![]()

It must be so difficult to grow up in a culture not your own. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's almost there at the surface, you can almost see it … Washington's generals suspected he'd underrated British forces and overrated his own strength – not that they all might have done those things, but only their commander-in-chief. They also believed that Washington had overstated the size of the American forces and underrated British strength. Hence on February 16 he convened a war council to present a plan for “a bold and resolute assault upon the troops in Boston.” His skeptical generals unanimously voted it down, finding the plan flawed because they were short of gunpowder and couldn't soften up the British beforehand with heavy bombardments. On February 13, at Lechmere Point, he determined the ice had sufficiently thickened to freeze the channel all the way to Boston. General George Washington, now in command of the fledgling Continental Army, is impatiently waiting for the channels around the peninsula to freeze over: The scene will be familiar to Bostonians: their town, having taken the first principled stand against the commercial tyranny of distant London, had been blockaded and garrisoned for years. Repeatedly in Ron Chernow's new 900-page biography of George Washington, it happens, a nagging little tickling at the back of the reading mind, an almost visceral urge to go back and start over, to scrutinize the argument – in short, to read the fine print. ![]() |
