i love that passage from feminist theory so much bc i invest a lot in consciousness-raising work, especially in person and in groups, and it never feels like enough. like, it feels politically inadequate to do this work with small groups of individuals, since the change we need is so total. but while it’s true that consciousness raising isn’t enough to create that change, it is a necessary step, and it also bears really good fruit that might justify the work in itself. i also have to remember that i’m one woman, a sick woman, and trust that if i give what i have to give in the area and ways i have to give it, others will do the same in the ways that they can and that will at some point be enough, whatever enough means
