and so, i was mortified to realize that my daughter wasn’t paying attention. instead, she was staring blankly at cartoons, forsaking the hypnotic power of fire for that of the television; the memory of the tribe, for commercials. i was so shocked, i couldn’t speak! thousands of questions robbed me of my sleep. what had happened? where had i gone wrong? what kind of society had we created? what had we women achieved by leaving the home? yes, we had won rights that belonged to us and we had earned recognition for our intellectual activity and a better place in the world, but with great sadness i was forced to accept that none of the revolutions we participated in had managed to create a proper system for the creation of the new man.
