Learning to See the Little Girl in the Moon: An Afterword to Warrior Women

Abstract

It seems only right that I begin to write the Afterword to this book on a night when the full moon is shining down on me. Mary Young taught me long ago about the importance of the moon, and particularly about the little girl in the moon. I have trouble seeing that little girl in the moon but each time the moon becomes round and full, I look for her. She seems to hide from me, to be invisible to me, even though I search for her. Mary tries to help me but only once did I think I caught a glimpse of her.
