<font size=2>I wondered if the young women today give this much thought;
so I googled a bit and came upon this statement: "Young women who
are drawn to political activism do not, for the most part, join women’s

antiglobalization, or social justice groups" which is found in the
essay, "Feminist Consciousness After the Women’s
Movement" (Epstein)
