She was part of the zeitgeist when I was in college during the 1960s.
And she never went away, despite some of the insults delivered her by even "well-meaning" imbeciles (see the first post I put up)...but, then, withstanding exile and threat from Back Home makes the fools behind WHEN WE WERE KINGS or SOUND OPINIONS seem as trivial as they are.
