1943: (Madeleine in a War of Her Own — Her Call for a Unified Restorative Movement Being a Hopeful Recasting of a Complicated Ten Years of Experimenting with Various Trajectories of Women’s Activism, Madeleine Being in a War of Her Own and Possibly Feeling How Her Tactics and That of Her Organization Would Have to Be More Coordinated to Defend Herself and the LFAS’s Practice Against the Deep Political Battle Lines Drawn Over the Course of the Decade): Her call for a unified restorative movement that would remake the foundations of the nation, and possibly the region and world, was a hopeful recasting of a complicated ten years of experimenting with various trajectories of women’s activism. Madeleine was in a war of her own. She could not have predicted but possibly felt how her tactics and that of her organization would have to be more coordinated to defend herself and the LFAS’s practice against the deep political battle lines drawn over the course of the decade — the decade had taught her that the enemy was not only patriarchy but the internal contradictions of a movement that had not yet learned to speak in a voice all women could hear.
