I’m am aware not to heroines Betty Dodson because she never wanted to be a guru, she said that it defeated the point of women knowing that all the empowerment was within them, she was just on a mission to remind woman that their pleasure was theirs to own and Betty made it her life times work to lead by example. Her CR groups kick started, women developing a healthy relationship to their bodies, this was sexual revolution in at it finest in the 20th contrary, followed by her talks at the Now Conference where she met a lot of resistance and appreciation for her advocacy for sexual freedom and owning your fuck. I love how brave she was even despite the resistance she received from some feminists. 141p- 142p
” Dodson’s vibrator workshop had been an unabashed success, as had her speech, but she was only just getting started”… “Dodson had began by projecting large images of anatomical vulva drawings…”
She was making waves in the feminist movement with her work including Liberating Masturbation which put her stamp on what all women wanted to talk about and now she had finally put the Cunt on the map in a big way (138- 144)
