Clan

The Clan of One Breasted Women was a decent read.  The author clearly makes her protest clear and draws upon the feminine aspects of the planet (eg. mother nature) when she describes/relates her families experience in regards to the nuclear tests to that of the mother earths experiences in regards to the nuclear tests.  Very good feminist piece.

The author shows how she personally protested and struggled against an injustice that was enacted upon her womanhood and as an extension of that, how the injustice was also done to mother nature.

I also noted the correlation she draws between the nuclear testing and her cancer and she states that she can not prove it was from the nuclear testing.  More than likely, the cancer did come from the nuclear testings but, I also noted that her husband had a company that worked around natrual gas and natural gas can also cause cancers.  Just a note, nothing more.

Another note is that she said the men in her family summed up the cancers to "bad genes" in the family.  I am pretty sure she probably put that in the story because of how some men like to speak, often wrongly, for women about a woman's own body like they know better the causes and solutions for women and their bodys' better than a woman themself.  I found that to be kinda funny and purposefully comical put in the story by the author as an underhanded slant attack on mysoginist men that think they know women better than women. haha.  Or, maybe I am just reading a little too far in to the feminist aspect of this story?!?!
