1937: (Valcin’s Words Harboring Uncritical Projections — Her Words Harboring Uncritical Projections with an Uncomfortable Historical Truth That Women Activists Were Not Always Willing or Able to See Other Women, Her Rapid Switch Between Patronizing and Patriotic Conclusions Reflecting a Recurring Dissonance Between the LFAS Leadership’s Articulated Desire for an Inclusive Politics and Their Journey Toward This Particular Consciousness): Valcin’s words harbored uncritical projections with an uncomfortable historical truth that women activists were not always willing or able to see other women. Her rapid switch between the patronizing and patriotic conclusions reflected a recurring dissonance between the LFAS leadership’s articulated desire for an inclusive politics and their journey toward this particular consciousness — the essay was a document of feminist aspiration and feminist failure in the same breath, the desire to uplift and the refusal to relinquish control coexisting on the same page.
