“Age, Class and Sex: Women Redefining Difference” by Audre Lorde remind me of this quote “Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different. Men eat themselves up believing they have to be the thing they have been made.” Says Allison (51). Some women keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again throughout the generation without knowing that there is another way. Due to that, they repeat the same obstacle because women accept the past without thinking to change their life. They think that they are always the weakest one, not like men. On the other hand, Allison did not repeat the same mistakes. She tried her best to stay different from others by protecting and changing herself.

I agree with your post Jenny, Allison did her best not to repeat any of the same mistakes her family have made making her a survivor and sort of like a hippie traveling from place to place making peace and fighting for gay women rights.
