I was in shock reading Howard Zinn\u2019s \u201cThe Intimately Oppressed.\u201d Coming from an all-girls middle and high school, I thought that I had learned most of what there was to learn about women\u2019s oppression but I was wrong. Although there are still some inequalities between women and men in society today it is nothing compared to what was going on in the past.
