I was today years old when I learned that novelist Erica "Fear of Flying" Jong was married to novelist Jonathan Fast, son of better-known novelist Howard Fast. Their daughter, Molly Jong-Fast, is also a writer.

W/gratitude to #MollyJong-Fast's mother, #EricaJong, #EJeanCarroll, #RobertaKaplan & many more pioneers. "Women like my mother & Carroll have seen some of their biggest victories of our society reversed by Trump. Guarantees of rights they thought they’d always have, like Roe v. Wade, are gone. The Equal Rights Amendment was never passed. Many of their dreams of female equality today seem depressingly out of reach. They burned their bras, but we still very much wear ours."

What E. Jean Carroll’s win against Trump means for the rest of us

Trump is ordered to pay $83.3 million for defamation to E. Jean Carroll. The irony of a woman in Trump's age group finally holding him accountable is not lost on us.

@Nochem. Totally agree! I ran out of characters and couldn't add #RobertaKaplan to the list (and really wanted to note that #EricaJong is #MollyJong-Fast's mom)!
