I cannot remember reading any writing by women so transparently revealing and unselfpitying. I am not sure I could choose to go through what they experienced as part of the community in 1999-2001. But these words, their voices stretched with the effort to clearly and objectively face and describe their own trajectory without any trace of victimhood, are a kind of direct validation of what they endured. Their words give an example and a hope that any of us may evolve beyond the blinkered limitations of our personal and cultural beginnings and follow into “the possibility of being involved in the gritty wheels of transformation.” This is a gift. I am most grateful. Reading this post by Debbie Wilson (and the preceding one by Judy Fox) has been deeply effecting.
