The Revolution of Little Girls

No matter how hard she tries, Ellen will never be Scarlett O'Hara.

As a little girl in South Carolina, she prefers playing Tarzan to playing Jane.

As a teenage beauty queen, she baffles her elders with her Freedom Riding sympathies.

As a young woman in the 1960s and '70s, she hypnotizes her way to Harvard and finds herself as a lesbian before nearly losing herself to booze and shamans.
