The article focuses on the book Never Guilty, Never Free, by Ginny Foat and Laura Foreman. It is an almost universally acknowledged truth that an American show trial requires a show-and-tell book. An officer of the National Organization for Women, charged with murder, confesses here to her errors but even more, much more, to her innocence and sorrow. Never Guilty, Never Free offers the reader the figure of the female survivor of a jagged world in which she has had too much sex, too little money, the wrong class affiliation and the lesser, of the genders.
