My first experience of feminist awakening I've already written about here, but it was my older aunt, Hope, who explained it to me clearly long before second wave feminism reached it's zenith. Thinking back, it's remarkable in itself that she would do so at all, but then I was not shy at all asking about the world from my older female relations and I listened to what they told me. She was totally honest in telling me her assessment of the nature of my parents relationship and she was dead on accurate as well without being nasty, mean or demeaning about it.
