On the contrary, it very accurately (to my mind at \nleast) portrayed the generational split between the feminism of the 40s \nto early 60s and the next generation that came of age in the late 60s \nand 70s. Its insights into Sheldon's character and motivations seemed \nboth sympathetic and insightful.\n\nI never met Alice Sheldon but I knew enough women of her generation to \nsee the portrait as true-to-life. I would highly recommend the book to \nany fan of her writing.\n\n-- Dave Lebling (aka vizcacha)"
