A. on The Matter with Things

Is this another of those "awakening" stories? You know....how a person who was blind (when many others were not) finally opens their eyes to SEE? They often make a career out of the original blindness, and then they make a second career out of the marvels of their "awakening". I have encountered it all before. Though I know of this author and her book only by what I have read in Amazon reviews and a brief once-over of her website, I suppose it is a good thing that Anthea has come around to some examination of her activities. But honestly.....I was aware of the pitfalls of leftwing activism (and the far leftwing perspective) when I was a schoolgirl. I thought it was incredibly obvious. I am likely to roll my eyes at someone just coming around to the realization far later. She isn't the Anthea Lawson who writes all those bodice-busters also listed on Amazon, is she?
