ELLEN WILLIS

Ellen Willis, original feminist, writer, and all around bad-ass. 

Willis was a fearless fighter for women's rights, anti-semitism, and all around advocate to end sexual repression.  

Some must reads of Willis':

"A woman is usually aware, on some level, that men do not allow her to be her real self, and worse, that the acceptable masks represent mens fantasies, not her own. She can choose the most interesting image available, present it dramatically, individualize it with some elaborations, under cut it with irony. But ultimately she must serve some male fantasy to be loved and then it will be only the fantasy that is loved anyway."
