Bettina Aptheker – The Personal is the Political
Tapestries of Life: Women’s Work, Women’s Consciousness, and the Meaning of Daily Experience
Political intimacy is closely related to personal intimacy, just as social change is related to personal change. In 1997 Bettina Aptheker, the author of Tapestries of Life: Women’s Work, Women’s Consciousness, and the Meaning of Daily Experience, was a professor of women’s studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz, and a person who is clear and open about identifying herself as a lesbian. When we spoke in February of 1997, we explored the relationship of personal intimacy and political intimacy.
Bettina Aptheker recommends “Ceremony,” by Leslie Marmon Philco.
