...their situation in society, they also incinerated a Barbie doll, a book by Norman Mailer (regarded as an arch-male chauvinist by the movement), birth-control pills, the Bible, and Good Housekeeping's list of the Ten Most Admired Women (because they were identified by their husbands' names only). WITCH last year staged a protest in New York against a bridal-goods show because it exploited women. And Los Angeles activists chuckle wryly at this line: If God had wanted women to stay in the kitchen, he would have given them aluminum hands...
...many women trained?and disillusioned?in the radical movements of the '60s, NOW seemed slightly middleaged, middle-class and tame. They formed protest groups in their own, often bizarre styles. Among them are BITCH (for nothing). WITCH (Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell), Bread and Roses (long a feminist slogan, suggesting that women wanted not only flowers but bread?wages?as well), Redstockings, the Radical Mothers, and Media Women.

At the end of the week, when she had finished telling her version of the murder of Miss Tate and six others a year ago, cross-examination led Linda into a description of the existence that brought her to a Los Angeles courtroom...
...worst aspects of organized religion. In this production the role is in the capable hands of Margaret Hamilton, making her Festival debut (she played the same role a dozen years ago in Philadelphia). Those to whom this name means nothing will more easily recognize her as the Wicked Witch of the West in the famous movie The Wizard of Oz. My own most admiring recollection of her comes from seeing her play, many years ago, the leading role of the altruistic murderess Ellen Creed in Percy and Denham's Ladies in Retirement that classic of psychological suspense thrillers...
