Amused me to see her work reduced to that! A little dismissive. And thats to say the least. I don't believe her work was based upon a political feminism at all.

I would not argue wholesale for her beliefs, but I would argue for her beliefs coming from a place more elevated than that they were politically inspired rather than evidence based.

I think we should judge her on the quality of the work rather than the elevation of the source of her thinking .

Could you explain how her work was politically inspired, as that is the basis upon which you have dismissed it.
