More From Anne Fadiman

Of all vices take heed of drunkenness; other vices are but fruits of disordered affections--this disorders, nay, banishes reason; other vices but impair the soul--this demolishes her two chief faculties, the understanding and the will; other vices make their own way--this makes way for all vices; he that is a drunkard is qualified for all vice.

Self Years Age
We are all engaged in the task of peeling off the false selves, the programmed selves, the selves created by our families, our culture, our religions. it is an enormous task because the history of women has been as incompletely told as the history of blacks.
