Gosh, the whole piece has a rather nasty edge, doesn't it? The paras prior to the one you bolded are particularly barbed: The 1960s, too, have rarely sounded so bleak. Piercy lived in groups, went to group meetings and had group sex. Women still cooked while men poured drinks and told her that her poetry was too female. Her lover sabotaged her first reading by standing up and denouncing the event as "hierarchical". Her second husband was a computer expert with whom she lived in San Francisco, Boston and New York, feeling guilty as bourgeois comforts crept in - good wine, Japanese tableware and credit cards. In 1970, at the height of hippy urban exodus, she moved to Cape Cod and established the home and garden in which she still lives, enjoying life with her third husband, Ira Wood. Her account of the previous break-up, the end of the open relationship and its attendant ideals, is raw and barbed. While feminism has given her life a "spine", Piercy's relationships with other women have not been good. It must have been a confusing and competitive time as people strained to submit to the ideals of communality and free love. Piercy has a strong sense of her own worth and requirements and is, as she says, vain, because her body was for so long what was most admired about her. She compares other women to herself and approves of those whom she resembles.

She will sit up nursing for nights on end and once even licked a kitten as its mother would. Kinky lady.
