That a friend of mine, who is now a journalism professor at the university of maryland, saw and it immediately emailed me and she said, wow, you get to interview Barbara Ehrenreich . So i know that a lot of you have come here to hear barbara talk today, feel the same way about her. She has an amazingly wideranging mind. If you read her work you know that. She has written about feminism, lowwage workers, many other things, and now she is writing about the meaning of it all. I assume you have seen her book, living with a wild god.
