It has been discussed on other people's blogs. A point someone made was that Rebecca's early image of feminists might be based on Alice's friends, who may well have had the same opinions as Alice - I think AW is a wonderful writer but she's made some unfortunate life choices and I don't get the impression that she would surround herself with people who disagree with her much. Still, an interesting contrast would be to read some of AW's stuff about her own mother. The one that stands out in my mind is a story of the two of them going to visit Flannery O'Connor's home. AW was finding racism everywhere she looked and was scornful of O'Connor's Christian themes. Her mom was more interested in the garden by the house, and was supportive of the Christian ideas. AW & mom seemed on good terms despite the disagreements, though.
