...petite, elegantly dressed woman warms up with jokes about sticky food stamps and useless powdered milk and reminds her listeners of the familiar line that "a woman is one man away from welfare." As harsh stage lighting reflects in her large gold earrings and red fingernails, her soft voice intensifies with an emotional turn. Beattie urges her audience to "have clear boundaries," "let go of the victim belief" and, most of all, "take care of yourselves...
