O knihe
In March 1948 in a small town on the outskirts of the least sophisticated borough of New York City a young girl is born into a society that will in 10 short years explode, marking the start of the cultural revolution that swept across America upending the old structures in society and one's inner stability. Hiding in plain sight was the sexual revolution. Whose responsibility was it to inform this girl about the changes in society or was it too big for parents, teachers and ministers to wrestle with it? In the world in which she grows up her parents are the actors and she is only a member of the audience, to be seen and not heard, encouraged not to speak. Yet, she experiences the silent influence of patriarchy, gender discrimination and class divisions as a vise and decides to rebel by surreptitiously exploring the one avenue that comes naturally, her burgeoning sexuality and becomes a victim of her own folly. The end of her spiritual unconsciousness comes when she leaves the tribe and commits to the talking cure, a brand of therapy made famous by Sigmund Freud. "Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water." -- Zen Proverb
