Anais Nin continues to visit colleges, giving lectures and commencement addresses. She writes, "the students are the majority of my readers, and we have a rapport. They crowd around me; we sit on the floor, and we talk freely and intimately."
She receives "tons of mail" and realizes "women are going through a great crisis as they enter the larger world of man, fearing they must give up being a woman. They make me talk, but they refuse to acknowledge that some problems are personal, psychological, emotional, not all political."
Inner freedom comes from conquering our fears, and it takes work, she says.
