Status Updates From The Dance of Anger: A Woman...

"the person making the move (to initiate independance/individualism) must be responsible for maintaining contact with the other.

43% - "At last she is declaring her independence and separeteness from her mother, but she is NOT declaring a lack of caring or closeness. Independance means that we clearly define our own selves on the issues that are important to us. Independance does not mean emotional distance."

36% - Oh lord. Is this play about me?

15% - some really good questions in here.

I have some discomfort with how the book was introduced. Specifically, it seemed to position anger as this inherently sexist issue. Made it seem like because women have been victims of culture and language...they have no other choice but anger.
