She claims there has been a "change inconsciousness among women since I wrote that book. Young women, college girls especially, are defining themselves in terms other than their sexual relationships with...

Last year 15,000 Spaniards attended its theology seminars, 12,000 spent their vacations in its centers of "spiritual retirement," and 20,000 children enrolled in its 143 summer camps. Driven to a fervor that is positively un-Spanish, Opus Dei members have risen to control of one of Spain's largest banks, many newspapers and magazines, a news agency, a jazz club-and to more than a dozen positions of real power within the Franco government...
