The years of lead, feminism, even radical feminism, operaism or however you spell that... everything’s gotten clearer but at same time more prickly. I enjoy being angry at these boomers. I would love to jump directly into the book and throw my own Southern European temper tantrum complete with broken glass and frightened children. What the cazo are you doing Elena Greco? You are making me crazy!
